THOUGHTS GO BACK TO THE DAY HE ENLISTED
A GREAT CAREER CHOICE-MANY INSISTED
WITH PRIDE AND JOY HE FELT LIKE A MAN
FOR HE WOULD PROTECT HIS NATIVE LAND
NOW THE SOLDIER LOOKS BACK WITH SORROW
ZEST FOR LIFE GONE N' NO DESIRE FOR TOMORROW
WITH HONOR N' GLORY HE HAD FOUGHT THE WAR
TODAY HE IS HAUNTED BY THE BLOOD N' THE GORE
THE PAIN OF RECALLING THOSE WHO HAD DIED
CAN'T CLEAR HIS MIND-THOUGH HE HAS TRIED
CIVILIANS DO NOT REALLY UNDERSTAND
THE RESULTS OF FIGHTING IN A FOREIGN LAND
FILLED WITH GUILT-ASKS WHY DID I SURVIVE?
WITH SO MANY DEAD-WHY SHOULD I BE ALIVE?
NO LONGER CAN HE RELAX AND HAVE FUN
SEES ONLY DARKNESS INSTEAD OF THE SUN
ALL HE CAN DO IS LIVE DAY BY DAY
N' PRAY THE MEMORIES WILL GO AWAY
DOESN'T ENJOY LIFE N' HE NEVER WILL
FOR HE IS LOST IN THE PAST....
AND THE WAR'S WITH HIM STILL
CHORUS:
THE SOLDIER RETURNS NEVER THE SAME
THE WAR HE FOUGHT IS ALWAYS TO BLAME
THOUGH HE TRIES WITH ALL OF HIS MIGHT
MEMORIES HAUNT HIM BOTH DAY AND NIGHT
DEAR-DEAR BRAVE SOLDIER-WE WELCOME YOU HOME
DEAR-DEAR BRAVE SOLDIER-YOU'RE NOT ALONE
THANK YOU DEAR SOLDIER FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE
DEFENDING THE LAND AND SAVING FREEDOM
