Home - Gary Puckett & The Union Gap

Producer - Jerry Fuller

And every night they lie awake
And dream of mama's chocolate cake
And wonder if they'll be a tomorrow
And will they ever see their home and their family
Or will they ever be back home

And boys who never learned to pray
Look to the heavens everyday
And stumble through a simple little prayer
And ask the Lord above
To send them home to the one's they love
Oh God I hope they make it home

And everyday some young man dies
And in the night some young girl cries
He'll never hear his baby's laughter
He'll never ever see his home and his family

Or what he's done for you and me
But I guess he's on his way back home

god bless ALL soldiers of the world, for their sacrifices, & to their families...but, god blast the so-called "leaders" of our governments who take us into wars where we need naught be, due to fear and propaganda. let the will of the people prevail, not greed, ego & lust for power from our leaders--the will of the people shall prevail, one day. don't call me unpatriotic. i am very patriotic, to my world. one day, war shall be outlawed, abolished, & our soldiers will become ambassadors of peace~

My father served in the Navy for 36 years. He was in every war except WWI. He did it for one reason, to preserve Freedom for his family as well as others. God rest his soul, if he could see the mess our Country is in right now, I just cannot imagine. THANK YOU TO ALL THE TROOPS AND THEIR FAMILES FOR "ALL" OF THE SACRIFICES THEY HAVE HAD TO ENDURE AND ARE STILL COPING WITH. "KNOW FOR SURE, ALL THAT HAVE PERISHED ARE TRULY IN A BETTER PLACE, MISSED AND LOVED, THEY ARE "HOME!"
