Bring Them Home
Fighting a war for their country Bring them home Lord
They gave the best years Bring them home
Of their lives
Walking beside Needing the war to be over
All their brothers Scared that today is their last
Yearning to be with their wives Constantly dodging the bullets
Watching their comrades Returning fire with a blast
Bleeding, Finally getting the signal
Carrying them back to be safe Deployment over at last
Dodging the bullets Relief and joy that it's over
From gunfire Devestation for brothers lost
Constantly fleeing from strafe
Bring them home Lord
Bring them home Lord Bring them home
Bring them home
Walking in silence to aircraft
Holding their brothers Silently offering prayer
When dying Fatigued and shattered
Shedding their tears From combat
For their loss Showing lost brothers
Fighting with passion They care
And trying Falling asleep in mid flight now
To man up and not give a toss Letting their thoughts
Sleeping in moments of respite Start to roam
Eating cold food on the trot Making their final journey
Always looking out To all their loved ones
For each other Back home
Warning and beating the clock
