Soldiers, dear Soldiers, come home safe and well.
Return to those that love you; leave behind your living hell.
Come home to a welcome straight from the heart.
And pray, yes pray dear soldiers, that you�ll never again have to part.
War is inevitable, this we all know,
But soldiers, dear soldiers, pray you won�t have to go.
Pray you won�t have to see eyes that have run out of tears.
Or hearts destroyed by endless fears.
Forget the horrors your eyes have seen.
Forget everything about where you�ve been.
Come home to arms that are waiting for you.
Return to those who love you so true.
