[Hook 1] When you come home Ill stop this When you come home Ill hide it good Ill never cry again When you Listen up real good Come home Yeah To me [Verse 1] This morning I woke up Wondering if our country really knows The extents of what our soldiers Do across the globe Every day that we get to wake up Safe its thanks to those, fighting for us Plenty of stories many will never be told Im letting them know Theyre never alone Whenever they are alone At times I know we act ungrateful But in our hearts we know The sacrifices they pursue Like living so far from home And every single thing they do They never take for granted, no Each ones a son, a brother, cousin Father, uncle too Some young and old But from their point of view Thats nothing new If you cant process the dangers Or the years of strength in training Then I guess what you see on TV You claim is entertainment What about the daughter getting teased At school for the scarf that she wore Ignoring the fact that her familys broke as it is And her fathers at war With a mother thats torn And a brother at law school Trying to support the fort, working hard for them all So every night she finds herself saying [Hook 2] When you come home Ill stop this When you come home Ill hide it good Ill never cry again When you come home Yeah To me [Verse 2] Its crazy, really How we complain about our ninetofives When we got soldiers overseas That fight to try survive And its guys like these with pride Who our country should idolise So tell your little boy his fathers a hero Every time he cries Give it up for the motivation Those who know their stationed In a city where they it aint safe And would rather be at 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 ones that dont come back? What about the wife that mopes in black? What about the kid so young When the mum tries to explain it They dont react Think about the knock on the door When the soldier awaits and you know what for When he lowers his hat, shes gonna tell her kids that Theyll never get to see their dad no more Like Im letting you know Youre never alone Whenever you are alone I hoped I never see the day I has to let you go Im not okay, but every day Im getting better though Todays a stepping stone But, still right now, she finds her self saying [Outro] I saw you again I knew just where youd be Ill stop this real soon When youre back safe with me But til then, Ill be singing this song When you come home Ill stop this When you come home Ill hide it good Ill never cry again When you come home to me
home, never, cry, soldier, safe
