Soldiers

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.
