� There's a hero's tale Of a ship that sails Under distant stars Somewhere far away And she's bound for glory On a foreign shore But the hero's every boy Who's sailed off to war Somewhere far away There's a soldier boy who dreams a dream of home Where a nightingale sings a promise To the ones who sleep alone Spring is in the air With a scent of cherry blossom in the glen Whispering a prayer Saying bring our hero safely home again So the willows weep And the candles burn For there is no sleep For the ones who yearn As I tell your story With a thankful heart You are always in our thoughts Though we are apart Somewhere far away There's a soldier boy who dreams a dream of home Where a nightingale sings a promise To the ones who sleep alone Spring is in the air With a scent of cherry blossom in the glen Whispering a prayer Saying bring our hero safely home again Somewhere far away There's a soldier boy who dreams a dream of home Where a nightingale sings a promise To the ones who sleep alone And spring is in the air With a scent of cherry blossom in the glen Whispering a prayer Saying bring our hero safely home again Home again Home again
