Lyrics
Dying to Come Home
Everything was cool
Join the service then he?d go to school
At least that was the plan
But the world started shakin? up
And his plans started breakin? up
Once things got out of hand
Now he was just a boy
When he was deployed
Now someone must tell mother
That their baby?s gone
Somewhere in this world there?s a soldier
Dying to come home, Home sweet home
Somewhere in this world there?s a soldier
Dying to come home
He wasn?t feeling down
When his boots landed on the ground
Thought things would be okay
Just one month left to tour
Really thought that he could endure
Until that fateful day
When a roadside blast
Took the breath that was his last
Now all the hopes and dreams
From his mind are gone
Somewhere in this world there?s a soldier
Dying to come home, Home sweet home
Somewhere in this world there?s a soldier
Dying to come home
Breaking news chilling me right down to the bone
Telling me the tragedy of another being gone
Our only hope is to stop and pray right here today
For all those soldiers who are dying, dying to come home
Now he was just a boy
When he was deployed
Now someone must tell mother
That their baby?s gone
Somewhere in this world there?s a soldier
Dying to come home, Home sweet home
Somewhere in this world there?s a soldier
Dying, dying,just to come home
