Lyrics

BRING THEM HOME

ON HIS HONEYMOON HE GOT THE CALL
SIR, JUST A FEW MORE DAYS
HE DESPERATELY TRIED TO STALL
BUT NOTHING COULD BE DONE
SO HE WENT AND TOLD HER THE NEWS
THE NEXT DAY THEY SAID THEIR GOODBYES
HE GENTLY TOUCHED HER FACE
AND SHE TRIED NOT TO CRY
WHEN HE SAID
WE'LL GET IT RIGHT NEXT TIME
PROMISE I'LL BE BACK SOON
AND AS THE BATTLESHIP LEFT THE DOCK
SHE QUICKLY CLOSED HER EYES
SHE SAID
LORD I AINT THE CHURCH GOING TYPE
AND I KNOW IT'S BEEN A WHILE
BUT PLEASE

CHORUS
BRING THEM HOME
KEEP THEM SAFE
HOLD THEIR HANDS THROUGH THE FLAMES
AND LET THEM KNOW
NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES
THAT WE?RE HERE AT THE END OF THE ROAD
WAITING FOR YOU LORD
TO BRING THEM HOME

MY BROTHER HE?S A NAVY MAN
HE?S BACK OUT THERE IN HARM?S WAY AGAIN
HE?S GOT A LITTLE DAUGHTER
SHE?S JUST TWO YEARS OLD
WATCH HER GROW RIGHT BEFORE HIS EYES
A MILLION MILE S AWAY
THROUGH THE CAMCORDER SHE SMILES
SHE SAYS I LOVE YOU DADDY
WHEN YOU COMING HOME?
BUT A KISS THROUGH THE TV SCREEN
JUST AIN?T THE SAME
SO I GET DOWN ON MY KNEES
AND I START TO PRAY
LORD ABOVE

REPEAT CHORUS

IT DOESN?T MATTER HOW YOU FEEL
ABOUT WHAT?S GOING ON OVER THERE
WHEN IT COMES TO THIS WE FIND COMMON GROUND
YEAH, THERE?S ONE THOUGHT THAT WE ALL SHARE
REPEAT CHORUS
