Homeward Bound

Waiting at the station, hearts heavy with hope

Quiet tears falling, no more ways to cope

Flags waving in the wind, stories told in silent breath

Waves of memories, fighting through the depths of every step

Homeward bound, after so long, carrying dreams in his eyes

Counting days, crossing miles, under endless skies

The world outside kept turning, while he fought through the night

Now he's stepping on familiar ground, ready to reunite

Come on home, soldier, your journey’s been long

We waited, we loved you, and now you're strong

Come on home, soldier, end of the line

Heartbeats singing in unison, your story's divine

Invisible scars may linger, but hope will never fade

In the arms of loved ones, where fears are unmade

Heroes returning from battles, both outside and within

Taking back the pieces of life they hope to begin

Welcome home, brave heart, the wait is over now

With open arms, we’re here, as the future allows

Come on home, soldier, you're finally free

Forever in our hearts, in your victory
