Anna - When You Come Home lyrics

[Intro: “Tears of the Sun”] And if you ever wonder why the heck she wore it (And if you ever wonder why the heck she wore it) She wore it for that soldier who was far, far, away (She wore it for that soldier who was far, far, away) [Hook 1: Anna] (Jaymz Johnson) When you come home (I'm coming home) I'll stop this (Don't worry) When you come home (I'm coming home) I'll hide this risk (So carry baby) I'll never cry (Don't cry) again When you (It's O.K) come home to me [Verse 1] I was just a young man told to go fight in the war Decided about the violence; guns'; Shootin' and the gore Waited for wealth for my friends and I Kissed my mother Sent off for foreign lands in a hungry gunna' I boarded the plane Waved goodbye to my dad Looked behind me People holding up American flag's They can't deny how they tags on you Wait into the plane Nothin' really to lose But nothin' really to gain I'm just a pawn on the military; General's chessboard News' broadcasting Use the war to keep the score The plane is on it's way Sink right over the ancient And take a last glimpse of my baby and the children I told you it's O.K I'll come back to you one day I'll hold you and the kids in my arm again one day Come back and marry you like I said; one day And we together, forever like a fairytale one day [Hook 1] [Verse 2] We were walking one day Morale was getting low I can't handle any other's f**ing torture anymore A firefight; erupted Civilians taking guns' Waved through western shooters in the back; With 21's Blood spilling out Reachin', fireblasting the rebel I ain't chicken but it was almost like I had; carpal tunnel Bullet hits my chest Fall down on my face I called the medic “Get me the f** out of this place” Nobody comes I'm just left here with the wounded No running from the d**h at all Soldiers are wounded I closed my eyes Saw lunatic as might I could Anyone die for such a lie I'm suffering on the battlefront I wanna' go home But I'm destined to die here on the ground all alone It don't look like I'll be coming home walking tall
I'm sorry baby, I'm not coming home after all [Hook 2: Anna] I saw you (I'm sorry to inform you) How can I? (But your husband pa**ed away yesterday) I knew just where you'd be (He fought for his country, and for his fellow man, and he paid the ultimate price) I'll sought this (He was a great husband, father, and man) Real soon; when you're back safe with me (But he won't be coming home, we're sorry) When you come home (I'm not coming home) I'll stop this (I'm sorry) When you come home (I'm not coming home) I'll hide this risk (Take care of the kids) I'll never cry (Don't cry) again (I'm sorry)
When you come home (Goodbye) to me (I love you)
