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
