Smoke fills the bizarre
His ears fills with the sound
Of bullets whistling past
To drop his arse to the ground
To catch a glimpse of a child
The dead ringing for his brother
Slow motion as the body goes down
The sarge calls "All clear"
Brain numb, but I guess it's been this way all year
'Cause, he left his home town to fight for
Something he belived in
But then he seen things
Now his heart cold as winter
Beneath the foreing sun
And they say that we're winning
But I ain't that dumb
What will I tell my baby mumma when my tour is done
I've shed blood with the hands that'll hold my son
Lost another friend, that makes ten
Wondering if he'll ever (back home)
A kiss in the wind from his home
He flies out into a world unknown
And it goes
(Hook)
Will I ever come
Back home
(2 Solo)
Locked down in his cell
He lays down on his bed
Hopes to sleep through some hours of this living hell
Closes his eyes for a minute, and thinks of his girl
Missing her so badly
Wishing he could kiss and tell her all the things that he did
'Cause his been sitting in this jail
With these four walls a constant reminder to him of how he failed
Now every day he has to live with the mess he made
And on their cigarette break the boys walk the yard
In a straight line they march to their own beat
Back and forth they pace like waves crashing on the shore
Today, this happened before and tomorrow comes slowly
Past the sterile zone he still dreams of a day he can (back home)
Waitin' on a free will of his own
Then he'll step into a World unknown
And it go
(Hook)
Will I ever come
Back home
(Bridge)
And only one year still feels like eternity
A million K's away do you still think of me?
Give me one wish I'll be by your side instantly
'Cause one day I'm coming home
And it goes
These brick walls go on for infinity
A million days away, do you still think of me?
Give me one wish I'll be by your side instantly (promise that you'll think of me)
'Cause one day I'm comin' home

May the road rise up to met you
May the wind be at your back
Though trouble may receive you
When the sky above turns black
May the sun shine warm above you
May your journey be a road
And your aim always be true
Until you find your way back, home
