Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Flag on the mailbox Name on a stone Pictures in a hallway Empty boots by the phone Mama at the window Coffee gone cold Talking to a silence That used to come home [Chorus] May no soldier go unloved May no soldier walk alone May no soldier be forgotten When the battle’s done and dust has blown May no soldier be left behind When they come back, tired and worn We’ll be the arms, we’ll be the light When they return home (oh yeah) [Verse 2] Crowd at the airport Cheers start to rise He smiles for a moment But there’s rain in his eyes He’s carried more than baggage From a place far away He needs more than a handshake He needs somewhere to stay [Chorus] May no soldier go unloved May no soldier walk alone May no soldier be forgotten When the battle’s done and dust has blown May no soldier be left behind When they come back, tired and worn We’ll be the arms, we’ll be the light When they return home [Bridge] It’s a seat at the table It’s a call late at night It’s listening through the stories Till the dark turns light If they stood there for all of us We can stand for them now Hand on a shoulder Heart in a vow (oh) [Chorus] May no soldier go unloved May no soldier walk alone May no soldier be forgotten When the battle’s done and dust has blown May no soldier be left behind When they come back, tired and worn We’ll be the arms, we’ll be the light We’ll bring them home, bring them home May no soldier be left behind When they return home
