When A Soldier Comes Home Lyrics

When a soldier comes home from across the sea

Tears are shed by their family

Tears of joy, that they're safe from harm

And once again in loved ones' arms

When a soldier comes home from their battles fought

Tears are shed for fallen friends they've lost

Touched and torn by what they have seen

Unsure what their new lives will be

They give so much when duty calls

In peace or war, they serve us all

Compassion and patience, the promise of hope

That's what we give when a soldier comes home

When a soldier comes home borne by friends

Tears are shed for what might have been

A folded flag brings pride and pain

And prayers, this was not in vain

They give so much when duty calls

In peace or war, they serve us all

Compassion and patience, the promise of hope

That's what we give when a soldier comes home

We must never forget

They give so much when duty calls

In peace or war, they serve us all

Compassion and patience, the promise of hope

That's what we give when a soldier comes home

When a soldier comes home
