My Soldier's Coming Home
Wayne Tolbert, copyright 2007

VERSE 1
Waiting at the airport - folks lined against the wall
A mother cradles daughter - as she holds her little doll
A lot of people talking - there's excitement through the tears
Since the soldiers left us - the months have seemed like years

(The) anticipation peaks - as the plane comes into sight,
Every heart begins to race - when the soldiers leave their flight.
'Each strains to catch a glimpse - of the loved ones they so miss
Could not imagine how it'd feel -- could not imagine joy like this.

CHORUS (1)
Fathers, sons and brothers - our soldiers coming home
Honoring the fallen -- the flags are being flown
Giving their all for freedom -- in lands so far away
I thank God my soldier's coming home

VERSE 2
The mother and her daughter -- (they're) standing all alone
Waiting for a coffin - her husband's finally home
(Through all) the great excitement -- most folks just did not see
(That this) soldier would have to wait for heaven -- to see his family

CHORUS (2)
Mothers, daughters, sisters - our soldiers coming home
Honoring the fallen -- the flags are being flown
Giving their all for freedom -- in lands so far away
I thank God my soldier's coming home

BRIDGE
'Said our goodbyes
Now, lift up your eyes
Coming down the hall
Are the ones who stand so tall (they are)

CHORUS (3)
All who served our country - our soldiers coming home
Honoring the fallen --the flags are being flown
Giving their all for freedom -- in lands so far away

Repeat 3 Times
I thank God my soldier's coming home

@E3ZUSMC he didnt return safely, he returned alive but not the way we hoped, just got home last weekend brought back to knox, caught shrapnel in his stomach n legs hes waiting on medical discharge now has to remain in hospital til full recovery, hopefully you dont gotta go but if you do you come home safely to your loved ones

[E3ZUSMC]

@kidman1987 before you go all internet BAMF on me, let me rephrase what i said. I am a United States Marine, I'm slated to go to Afghanistan in mid-September. What I am telling you is the main force in Afghanistan are Marines, not saying that the Army isn't there. The Army is the main body in Iraq right. So before you go calling people names over the internet maybe you should think about the point they are trying to make. I hope your brother in law returns safely. Best wishes,
