Song Description
The song is about a soldier in Iraq that just wants to come home, in which I feel that all of our soldiers could probably relate to the lyrics and the heart of the song.

Lyrics
(Verse 1) I see the rising sun today, what a blessing it's become
Unsure of what may come my way, I'll be so glad when this is done
(Oh they say) We're fighting for our liberty,
(Oh they say) We'll help restore democracy,
But if there's one thing I know and if the truth should be told,
I'd really love to go back home.
(Chorus) Back home, is where I know my wife and kids are safe,
Back home, is where I long to feel their warm embrace,
Back home, is where I hope to be if I can just survive this place
I'm sure I'm not the only one, who really wants to go back home.
(Verse 2) Each day before I leave, I say a prayer to God above
Despite the evil all around me, he protects me with his love,
(Oh they say) We're fighting for our liberty,
We'll help restore democracy,
But if there's one thing I know and if the truth should be told,
I'd really love to go back home.
(Repeat chorus)
(Bridge) Home, home, home, home (repeat)
Wanna go back home
Will I make it home
