[Chorus] 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 [Verse 1] (ya)You could never really comprehend the devastation Just to relinquish it all, leave and defend a nation With burnt visions of death, his eyes could not erase them Separatin’ fathers from daughters without a hesitation He seen mothers cry innocent brothers die And grown men pleadin’ for life, contemplatin’ suicide Do government issues and missiles solve revolving issues? Revolver shells fall to ground, bullets dissolve in tissue The blood washin’ up on shore from the tide behind And stackin’ bodies of dead friends just to hide behind A solider lost her leg a solider lost his site But for his wife this solider never ever lost his fight It’s getting’ harder to cope, blood all on his camo Semi auto with the scope but love was his ammo He hasn’t seen her face and it’s been a year today But he’s fightin’ ‘cause a sweet smellin’ letter from her awaits [Chorus] [Verse 2] (ya)They teachin’ no retreat, he preachin’ no surrender He had to stay up on his feet, swore he’d hold her forever He went from holdin’ hands waitin’ for suns to set To holdin’ lives in his hands, controllin’ gun turrets This ain’t a movie scene ain’t nobody yellin’ cut And a feast fit for kings couldn’t feed his empty gut The morning started with friends but now they lie in dirt Now light n smoke fill the skies but they ain’t fireworks There’s no glory in war just blood sweat and tears So he asked HIM for forgiveness with hope that HE hears The power above, for the power of love To turn the showers of blood into flowers and doves ‘Cause every single dark cloud has a silver linin’ His wife was smilin’ and he knew it ‘cause the sun was shinin’ “One day I’ll see you again” he said it to the sky So filled with joy a happy tear then fell from his eye [Chorus] [Verse 3] (ya)It’s true that things will get worse before they get better Waged a couple vendettas to get him through the wet weather A few more months had passed a few more soldiers fell He saw the body’s burnin’, livin’ a soldier’s hell This soldier’s shoulders felt the whole weight of the world And then this solider knelt, heard him say to the world “I finally figured out what it is I’m fighting for And she at home alone don’t want to fight this fight no more” A day forever remembered it was a cold December In silenced air troops assembled as he opened the letter The words were like a lost box that had been packed with treasure Cease fire took a broken heart and put it back together His family one again, what a surprise in store Thoughts of his smilin’ wife, she didn’t have to cry no more She asked to see his face as she talked to the Lord He fixed his tie in the window then he knocked on his door [Bridge] I saw you; again I knew just where you’d be I’ll stop this, real soon when you’re back safe with me [Chorus]
