A 12 month tour behind him

And all his hopes ahead

A pride that beat with his young heart

For all the things he did

As he stepped off the airplane

He stooped and kissed the ground

And he traded a war on foreign soil
C G
For one in his hometown
[Chorus]

There was no love for the soldier

Limping back home from the fi-i-i-ight

I saw them spit upon him

And I heard them call him names

Something changed within his eyes

He hid his wounds from battle

So, others didn’t know

Their scars upon his soul

We stand at war again

But I thank the Lord we’ve chosen now

To all the men who fought before

And lived and died without their due
