Home From the War
Home from the War
Here’s a little friendly greeting
To welcome you back home,
You serve your country admirably
Far and wide you roam.
The folks back home they love you
It’s for those you go to fight,
By being shipped to foreign lands
To help put their wrongs to right.
The act of war’s horrific
Many lives, they have been lost,
You wonder if it’s worth it all
When there’s so much human cost,
But now the war is over
And the fighting’s all but done,
Your friends and family miss you loads
It’s time to come on home.
A change of scene is what you need
The battleground, no more,
For nowhere else on earth compares
To your homelands welcome shore.
