[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]
