Verse 1
They carried me across the ocean,
From a land where the silence grew.
Years had passed like drifting shadows,
But they never forgot the truth.
Pictures faded on the mantle,
Stories told when the nights were long,
Now the road leads back to where I started,
Back to the place that I belong.
Pre-Chorus
I hear the church bells ringing,
See old friends lining up the street,
Every tear and every memory,
Brings me closer home to peace.
Chorus
I’m coming home, I’m coming home,
To the fields and the roads I’ve known.
To the hearts that never left me,
Though the years rolled slowly on.
They’re saying my name, they’re holding the line,
Remembering the life I gave.
And the veterans stand and salute with pride,
Honoring a brother brave.
After all this time, through the unknown,
At last, I’m finally coming home.
Verse 2
Mama’s porch still faces sunset,
Daddy’s flag still waves out front.
Children now are grown with children,
Life kept moving while I was gone.
Yet every gathering, every holiday,
An empty chair still held my place.
Now the town turns out together,
To welcome me with grace.
Pre-Chorus
I hear the bugle calling,
Feel the weight of every prayer,
Love has traveled all these miles,
Just to meet me here.
Chorus
I’m coming home, I’m coming home,
To the fields and the roads I’ve known.
To the hearts that never left me,
Though the years rolled slowly on.
They’re saying my name, they’re holding the line,
Remembering the life I gave.
And the veterans stand and salute with pride,
Honoring a brother brave.
After all this time, through the unknown,
At last, I’m finally coming home.
Bridge
Fold that flag with steady hands,
Let the trumpet sing.
Not a goodbye, but a promise kept,
For every sacrifice made in freedom’s name.
The journey’s over, the watch is done,
And I’m surrounded by love once more.
Final Chorus
I’m coming home, I’m coming home,
Where my story still lives on.
In every hug, every tear, every prayer,
In the people who stayed strong.
The veterans raise their hands in salute,
Brothers and sisters standing tall.
And the ones who loved me all these years,
Never really lost me at all.
After all this time, through the unknown,
Beneath these skies I’ve always known,
Wrapped in honor, remembered and shown,
At last… I’m finally coming home.
Outro (Repeat & Fade)
Coming home… coming home…
To the hearts that carried me all along…
Coming home… coming home…
Never forgotten… finally home…
Finally home…
Finally home… 🇺🇸
