They are all alone Together, Can’t believe what they’ve been shown Follow their gaze, they stare always At a place far away from
Home: sometime they’ll go But every single one still knows That in the end, around the bend The absent faces always
Show a missing part But she still feels him in her heart As time goes by she’ll come to lie Again beside him like the start.
Come back with a flag, that’s the only way they’ll pack his bag Or if he’s through because he’s due to come back true Once his honor grew to start a new life in a few Just as askew as he’s ever had
The start comes with ease Before everyone is displeased They argue more, down at the store As children watch the strange
Disease is what some call it Children laugh and play, and don’t follow it On the news, their eyes aren’t glued But they don’t have to fill
The wallet has a picture Every single day he still misses her Pretty smile, it’s been a while And as he sits his mind will stir.
Come back with a flag, that’s the only way they’ll pack his bag Or if he’s through because he’s due to come back true Once his honor grew to start a new life in a few Just as askew as he’s ever had
Stir up memories As mothers wait, they still seem to plan these Different ways, day after day To bring back their boys to their
Families will always mourn Though some are proud, and some are torn As what to do, they think back to Twenty years ago, when he was
Born all alone No brothers or sisters to be shown Follow his gaze, they stare always At a place far away from home.
Come back with a flag, that’s the only way they’ll pack his bag Or if he’s through because he’s due to come back true Once his honor grew to start a new life in a few Just as askew as he’s ever had
