The Soldier's Return

Youtube Link. Listen to the Soldier's Cry Don't know if he'll live or die A wounded heart, a wounded soul How he thinks of home How he thinks of home How he thinks of home And when the war is o'er and done He don't care if we lost or won He only knows he's on his own And he's ready to come home He's ready to come home He's ready to come home He said: "Father, forgive my sins A fool I have always been Life has left me all alone And I'm ready to come home "Mother, I know you're strong But you know I have done you wrong I got nowhere left to roam And I'm asking to come home I'm asking to come home I'm asking to come home "All the people I have killed In the ground so cold and still They were loved as much as I Can I still come home Can I still come home Can I still come home "And all the friends who I have lost No better men I've ever crossed Why is it that I survived Should I still come home Should I still come home Should I still come home" They said: "You know we forgive you son It doesn't matter what you've done You're the son we've always known And we're happy that you're home "We're just glad that you're okay We'll always mark this joyous day You're loved more than you'll ever know And we're happy that you're home We're happy that you're home We're happy that you're home"
