Lyrics
AMERICA COME HOME
VERSE 1:
WE FOUGHT A HARD WAR OVER THERE
AGAINST AN EVIL MAN IN A DISTANT LAND
WE SENT THEM OFF WITH ALL OUR PRAYERS
AND VICTORY NOW IS IN THEIR HANDS
VERSE 2:
AND NOW THE WAR IS DONE
SPIRITS HIGH THE TIME IS RIGHT
TO TAKE THE COOURAGE OF YOUR SONS
AND LET IT SOAR ACROSS THE SKY
CHORUS:
AMERICA COME HOME
LOOK UNTO YOUR OWN
AMERICA COME HOME
ITS BEEN SUCH A LONG TIME SUCH A LONG LONG TIME
VERSE 3:
NOW THERES AN OLD WAR OVER HERE
BROTHERS LIVE IN HATE AND FEAR
TOO MANY PEOPLE ON THE STREET
BUT LET US NOT CONCEDE DEFEAT
REPEAT CHORUS
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE
VERSE 4:
TO THE WARRIOR IN US ALL
HEAR YOUR NAME HEED THE CALL
NOWS THE TIME TO MAKE A STAND
ALL AS ONE HAND IN HAND
REPEAT CHORUS TO FADE
