Long Road Home

Long road home Long roads that lead to nowhere Full body armor, because of fear A bullet burst or a motor worst You flinch at the sound and then you curse A little further you will go Looking deep inside your soul What will I do? if I am attacked You’re always thinking, never relaxed Getting to base camp and back home That's your thought, and you’re not alone A glowing light up straight ahead Your nearly home, to eat and go to bed Long days watching for the enemy makes your eyes so tired Plus hurting your head You finally relax and lay down to sleep Where somewhere in the darkness you hear someone weep You think of home and what you left You're lonely and hurting like the rest Each day you mark one off Praying to stay alive at any cost Joking with friends about your days Yet one is too many to be so far away Upon that jet when you go home You try to get your heart and mind in the right zone Hoping and praying you'll never feel that alone.
