Come Home
When you come home I'll stop this
When you come home I'll hide it good
I'll never cry again, when you come home to me
This morning I woke up wondering if our country really knows
The extent of what our soldiers do across the globe
Everyday that we get to wake up safe it's thanks to those
Fighting for us, plenty of stories, many will never be told
I'm letting them know they're never alone whenever they are alone
At times I know we act ungrateful but in out hearts we know
The sacrifices they peruse like living so far from home
And every single thing they do they, never take for granted no
Each one's a Son a Brother, Cousin, Father, Uncle too
Some young and old but from that point of view that's nothing new
If you can't process the dangers, all the years of strength and training
Then I guess what you see on TV you claim as entertainment
What about the daughter getting teased at school for the scarf that she wore
Ignoring the fact that her family's broke as it is and her fathers at war
With a mother that's torn and a brother at Law School trying to support the fort
Working hard for them all
So every night she finds herself saying
When you come home I'll stop this
When you come home I'll hide it good
I'll never cry again, when you come home to me
It's crazy really how we complain about our nine-to-five's
When we've got soldiers overseas that fight to try survive
And it's guys like these with pride who our country should idolize
So tell your little boy that his fathers a hero, every time he cries
Give it up for their motivation, those who know their stationed
In a city where they know it ain't safe and would rather be home but no complaining
We could never understand the weeks of no communication
To the outside world or the magnitude of any situation
What about the one's that don't come back
What about the wife that mopes in black
What about the kids so young when their mum tries to explain it they don't react
Think about the knock at the door when a soldier awaits and you know what for
When he lowers his hat, she's got to tell her kids that they're never gonna see their dad no more like
I'm letting you know you're never alone whenever you are alone
I hoped I'd never see the day I had to let you go
I'm not okay but every day I'm getting better though
Todays a stepping stone, but still right now she finds herself saying
I saw you again I knew just where you'd be
I'll stop this, real soon when you're back safe with me
But 'til then I'll be singing this song
When you come home I'll stop this
When you come home I'll hide it good
I'll never cry again, when you come home to me
