Lyrics

Welcome Me Home
words and music by Anthony Russell

Years in the desert for training
Years in the jungle for more
Tight assed instructors breathe fire in your face
So you can survive if you?re caught

Mountains you climb in the morning
Weighed down by backpack and gun
People get rescued from terrible fates
?Cause you know the way that it?s done

Welcome me home / To a land where freedom breathes
Welcome me home / To a time where peace shall live

Your eyes are focused on freedom
More hearts and minds to be won
One day the world could be kissing your lips
Respecting the job that you?ve done

Thanks to your skill and your courage
And the burden you willingly bear
People who suffer all over the world
May one day live free from their fear

Welcome me home / To a land where freedom breathes
Welcome me home / To a time where peace shall live

The sky grows dark and threatening
The hatch gets battened down
All nations unite with the heart for a fight
The earth hears a rumbling sound

Fighting and falling in combat
Wishing the world could be fair
Knowing the truth at the end of the day
Brings darkness and sometimes despair

Brothers in arms may be flying
Sisters in arms on the sea
We are in awe of the service you give
Protecting and keeping us free

Welcome me home / To a land where freedom breathes
Welcome me home / To a time where peace shall live
