Jake Weezner - I Hope He Comes Home lyrics
rate meThe Families all wait <br />
For the troops to arrive<br />
The goodbyes begin right away<br />
A great true friend <br />
Is there with his grin<br />
And we ignore the reason we?re there<br />
?Into the plane!? <br />
Says the Captain so firm<br />
It?s this hero?s first term<br />
<br />
And I stood and watched<br />
As he walked away<br />
And my heart said to me<br />
Screaming ever loudly<br />
<br />
He will come home<br />
And what a hero he?ll be<br />
With metals from combat<br />
And stories for me<br />
And we?ll get caught up <br />
On the latest movies<br />
But a small voice says to me<br />
Will he ever come home?<br />
<br />
A long drive back<br />
To our still, safe reside<br />
With no fear of fighting or flee<br />
So I turn on the TV <br />
And what do I see<br />
Business usual<br />
No skipping beat<br />
So my heart fills with anger<br />
My eyes fill with demise <br />
I wonder how they can<br />
Thinking of when I cried<br />
<br />
I sit and hear<br />
To the voice inside me <br />
I cannot help but wane<br />
My best friend in harms way<br />
And I am in the states<br />
Eating pizza wasting time<br />
I?ve given up nothing<br />
He could give up all<br />
