Homecoming
My casket is draped in Red, White, and Blue,
I served my country, because I had a job to do.
The ride is long as I leave this place, and
sadness is seen on every face.
I served my country for that is what I chose,
and if peace comes from this, only God knows.
As I arrive in the deep of night, back to my country
away from the fight; tears of sadness my family cries.
I hear a trumpet, someone is playing for me;
I am home now, my land of the free.
