It's called Welcome Home, so here's to all the soldiers taking care of us.When you're counting the days, it's hard to sleep at nightSo you just lie there with thoughts of home running through your mindAnd the minutes feel like hours, and the hours seem like daysAnd in the life of a soldier, time goes by that wayAnd all the tears you cry just make you a little bit strongerAnd you just hold onYou close your eyesYou close your eyesAnd pray at night that it won't be much longerBefore those sweet words come alongWelcome homeSo you write another letterLeaving out the bad partsAnd say everything's okay, mamaCause you don't want to break her heartBut insideYou feel like dyingBut you just keep on fightingHoping it soon will all be overThat the end is getting closerBut all the tears you cryJust make you a little bit strongerAnd you just hold onYou close your eyesAnd pray at nightThat it won't be much longerWon't be much longerFor those sweet wordsCome alongWelcome homeAnd you see your familyEvery night in your dreamsAnd they remind you of what you're fighting forWhen you can't remember anymoreAnd all the tears you cryJust make you a little bit strongerAnd you just hold onYou close your eyesAnd pray at nightThat it won't be much longerBefore those sweet words come alongWelcome homeWelcome homeWelcome homeWelcome homeThank you
