Jake Weezner - I Hope He Comes Home lyrics

rate me

The 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 />
