Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 Dust on my boots in a foreign place Tryin’ to remember your sweet face Your last words still echo clear “Come back safe, I’ll be right here” I keep your picture in my vest Right by the pounding in my chest And every night before I sleep I read the lines you wrote to me Verse 2 Boys beside me from different towns Different stories but same ground We laugh to hide what we all know Not everyone here makes it home But we stand tall, we hold the line For freedom bought in sacrifice And every step through fire and fear I hear your voice inside my ear Pre-Chorus It ain’t about the glory or the pride It’s about the ones we left behind Chorus These are letters from home Written in your hand Holdin’ me together In a broken land Every word a reason Every line a prayer When I feel like fallin’ I find you there If I don’t make it back someday Just know I gave my all With these letters from home Verse 3 Sun comes up through desert skies Another day just trying to survive But hope’s alive in ink and page Keeps me strong through every wave And when this war is finally through The only place I’m running to Is that porch light shining bright Guiding me back home at night Bridge If love could carry me through this fight I’d already be home tonight Final Chorus (Big) Yeah these are letters from home… And they’re the reason I hold on
