Lyrics
When I come marching home
will you care for me?
I gave my time my soul
so we could be free.
I won't be asking for much
Just take care of my wounds.
Pat me on my back and say
For what you done, there's always room.
So many things inside,
so hard to express
sometimes I have to run and hide
I just can't take the stress
Image's that won't go away
buddies lost, my hearts abreakin
for this time I will always pay
with my innocence shakin.
So try to understand
this was a life long token.
It will always be with me
my body it's abit broken
they'll be Many coming home
who feel the way I do
All injuries are not bones broken
and like me they'll need some room
