When I Get Home

 When I Get Home

 

I was never a hero only trying to survive

There’s something righteous about being alive

I don’t believe in some greater call

But for my brother I’d give it all

When I get home, When I get home

I want the peace I’ve never known

When I get home, when I get home

I want some grace of my own

When I get home, when I get home

 

Twisted and trained they broke my will

Without hesitation is how you kill

But I saw the humanity of the enemy

I looked in his eyes and I saw me

 

When I get home, When I get home

I want the peace I’ve never known

When I get home, when I get home

I want some grace of my own

When I get home, when I get home

 

Same old scam same old lies like before

There is a foe and that foe is war

The rich drink martinis as the poor die

And a sick greed is the reason why

 

When I get home, When I get home

I want the peace I’ve never known

When I get home, when I get home

I want some grace of my own

When I get home, when I get home

 

I have medals and stories I don’t want to share

Most of all I’m looking for somebody to care

I’m looking for somebody to offer more than prayer

In the heat of the street you can meet me there

 

When I get home, When I get home

I want the peace I’ve never known

When I get home, when I get home

I want some grace of my own

When I get home, when I get home
