I'm a soldier on the field
Fightin' for you
Fightin' for me
You can see it on our faces
Like the bullets leave tracers
You can feel it for real
You can't imagine the pain of my babies so far away
So far from my home
When they comin' home?
When they leavin' that place?
See their lover's face again
Kid will see his daddy's face again
When they comin' home?
Lord, shed some grace
See their lover's face again
Kid will see his daddy's face again
I'm a soldier on the field
Waitin' to die, prayin' to live
To survive one more day
But my hope begins to fray
It's my flesh against the steel
You'll never know what I've known
You'll never see what I've seen
I hope we make it home
When they comin' home?
When they leavin' that place?
See their lover's face again
Kid will see his daddy's face again
When they comin' home?
Lord, shed some grace
Put your peace in the valley tonight
Bring the soldier home alright
When they comin' home?
When they leavin' that place?
See their lover's face again
Kid will see his daddy's face again
"So far from home", she cries
"Politics aside, what I'd give to have him here tonight"
When they comin' home?
When they leavin' that place?
See their lover's face again
Kid will see his daddy's face again
When they comin' home?
Lord, shed some grace
Put your peace in the valley tonight
Bring the soldier home alright
When they comin' home?
Children playin' in the sun, home
See their lover's face again
Kid will see his daddy's face again
When they comin' home?
Mama braidin' your sweet hair, home
Put your peace in the valley tonight
Bring the soldier home alright
When they coming' home?
Children playin' in the sun, home
See their lover's face again
Kid will see his daddy's face again
When they comin' home?
Mama braidin' your sweet hair, home
When they coming' home?
