Lyrics
SOLDIER, WELCOME HOME
Music & Lyrics © Bob Reid 2010 SOCAN
It's a special kind of man
And woman who understands
Freedom is a gift
But it's not free
They're the ones who sacrifice
Do the duty, pay the price
Of a safer world
And peace for you and me
Now they're such a welcome sight for us to see ...
CHORUS:
Welcome home
Welcome home
The battle's all behind you
Welcome home
Though a half a world away
We've been behind you, every day
And with grateful hearts we're so glad to say
Soldier, welcome home
VERSE 2:
Help elected leaders rule
Keep the children safe at school
Things we take for granted every day
But that's the mission, that's the call
And you answered, standing tall
In a distant land
You forged a better way
Now it feels so good to finally get to say ...
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Together we remember every fallen one
The heroes we think of every day
They laid down their lives beneath a blazing sun
Now among the stars they help to guide the way
It's a special kind of man
And woman who understands
Freedom is a gift
But it ain't free
They're the ones who sacrificed
Did the duty, paid the price
Of a safer world
And peace for you and me
Heroes in our hearts you'll always be ...
CHORUS
Stand down, dismissed, rest easy now
Soldier, welcome home
