It started out as a feeling, which then grew into a hope Which then turned into a quiet thought, which then turned into a quiet word And then that word grew louder and louder, till it was a battle cry I'll come back when you call me, no need to say goodbye Just because everything's changing doesn't mean it's never been this way before All you can do is try to know who your friends are as you head off to the war Pick a star on the dark horizon and follow the light You'll come back when it's over, no need to say goodbye You'll come back when it's over, no need to say goodbye Let your memories grow stronger and stronger, till they're before your eyes You'll come back when they call you, no need to say goodbye
