Verse 1 I still see you in the hallway light, Sneakers by the door every night, Laughing loud, teasing me, Acting tough, but soft with me. Mama said, “He’s grown so fast,” Packed your dreams in a dusty bag, You kissed my cheek, said, “I’ll be fine,” I smiled strong, but I cried inside. Pre-Chorus Every mile between us now, Feels like a lifetime somehow, I pray your name in every song, Begging God to keep you strong. Chorus I miss you, my little brother, My hero in another land, You’re fighting battles I can’t see, With courage in your hands. I miss you in the quiet nights, When the stars don’t shine the same, Come back home, don’t change too much, You’ll always be my flame. Verse 2 Your old room still smells like dreams, Posters, photos, memories, Your jacket hanging on the chair, Like it’s waiting for you there. I scroll through pics just to feel close, Read your texts like holy notes, You say, “Sis, I’m doing okay,” But I hear the fear you don’t say. Pre-Chorus You carry weight you never show, Braver than you’ll ever know, If love could build you armor strong, You’d be safe your whole life long. Chorus I miss you, my little brother, My hero in uniform blue, Every prayer I whisper softly, Is always meant for you. I miss you when the world feels cold, When I’m breaking down in pain, Come back home, don’t change too much, You’re still my baby, same. Bridge If I could trade places, I would, Stand right where you stood, Take your fears, your sleepless nights, Let you rest, let you be alright. But all I have is love and faith, And letters sealed with your name, So I’ll send my heart across the sea, Until you’re back with me. Verse 3 One day you’ll walk through that front door, Drop your bag on the floor, I’ll cry, won’t let you go, Like I’m scared you’ll disappear slow. We’ll laugh again, we’ll heal the scars, Count the nights, forget the wars, You’ll always be my pride and proof, That angels wear combat boots. Chorus (Final) I miss you, my little brother, More than words can ever say, You’re my strength when I feel weak, My sunshine on dark days. I’ll wait for you, I promise this, No matter how long it takes, Come back home, don’t change too much, My heart is where you stay. Outro So wherever you are tonight, Under foreign stars and skies, Remember I’m right here praying, With your name in every line. I love you more than you’ll ever know… Come back home, little brother. 💙
