Come Home Lyrics

When you come home,
I'll stop this.
When you come home,
I'll hide it good.
I'll never cry again
When you (Listen up real good)
come home (Yeah)
to me.

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 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 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 one's a son, a brother, cousin,
Father, uncle too
Some young and old,
But from their point of view,
That's nothing new
If you can't 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 family's broke as it is
And her father's 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 (Yeah)
to me.

It's crazy, really, How we complain about our nine-to-fives
When we 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 his father's a hero
Every time he cries

Give it up for the motivation
Those who know their stationed
In a city where they it ain't 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 don't come back?
What about the wife that mopes in black?
What about the kid so young,
When the mum tries to explain it,
They don't react.
Think about the knock on the door
When the soldier awaits and you know what for.
When he lowers his hat, she's gonna tell her kids that
They'll never get to see their dad no more,
Like

I'm letting you know
You're never alone
Whenever you are alone
I hoped I never see the day I had to let you go
I'm not okay, but every day I'm getting better though.
Today's a stepping stone
But, still right now, she finds her self 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.
