Coming Home for Christmas |
| I stuck my head so far above the wire last night |
| To draw the sniper’s fire from my buddy’s light |
| And now I’m packing up my gun, stowing my kit |
| I’m moving my butt outta this fiery pit |
| And the captain says, «Ah, you did good son» |
| Ah, but I know what I’ve seen |
| And it don’t bring no joy |
| And I can’t tell my wife |
| And I can’t tell my boy |
| I’m coming home for good |
| I hope will never have to shoot no one again |
| They’re bringing me outta here tonight |
| And I’ll be home by the morning light |
| From a son of a gun to a home-loving beach bum |
| Job done |
| Two weeks have passed |
| And I can still see blokes I left behind |
| And I ask the same old question |
| Why did we have to fight? |
| I got shrapnel scars and a weeping eye |
| And I can’t stare too long at these Christmas light |
| And I’m scared to sleep 'cause in every dream I die |
| So my family and I join the soldiers' march |
| We hold our banners high in the center of the park |
| We sing peace on earth under the Christmas tree |
| And bring all our boys back home |
| We’re coming home for good |
| And there is an airlift coming from oversees, yeah |
| Bringing the boys back to stay |
| Leave the folks out there to find their own way |
| No one’s gonna miss us anyway |
| Bring all the boys back home this Christmas |
| Bring back the days when we were young and we were free |
| When the world could live as one and there was nothing we couldn’t overcome |
| And every Christmas was a family of fun |
| No enemy to overcome |
| Well, let’s bring the boys back home this Christmas |
| Bring 'em home |
| Bring all the boys back home |
| Bring 'em home |
