They March - Home At Last
Resplendent in their uniforms
Led by the band of bagpipes and drums
They march - home at last
The musicians in their uniforms of tartan
Playing " there was a soldier a scottish soldier"
They march
Proud faces of white and brown
Looking happy without a frown
They march
The police stop the traffic
For these brave men to march through
They march
The people cheer their soldiers home
Welcome home they shout to them
They march
Some people care not and push their way through
Forgetting the trauma these lads have been through
They March
Its Glasgow and The Scots Guards are home
George Square will never be the same
They March
They have been in afghanistan
Fighting for what, for something insane
They March
Helmand Province has been there home
6 long months in No Mans Land they roamed
They March
Remembering the ones that have died
Came home earlier in a box instead
They March
Welcome home lads . We salute you.
Home at last
