Story behind the song
Went to watch my friends band play at a VFW post and was so impressed by the pride the veterans had in their service to our country that I was compelled to write this.
Lyrics
Coming Home to You
They were born
Just like you and I were born
Entered this world
And given shelter from the storm
They lived their lives
Seeing all there was to see
Grew up with friends
Playing games and living free
Till the day that they all went out
Exploring on their own
And they found that great adventure
Round the corner from their home
They were worlds away from rescue
Just their friends were at their side
And when it started getting dark
They hopped their bikes for one last ride
And they'll be coming home to you
They'll be coming home to you
The years go by
And they grow up smart and strong
And they learn to figure out
What is right and what is wrong
Then they find the one
that will make their world go round
And they settle down
To build the love that they had found
Till the day she came to tell him
About the babe she held inside
well she looked just like and angel
And they laughed until they cried
So he held her while she labored
Saw the gift born of their love
And her mother stayed up all night long
His father watching from above
And they'll be coming home to you
They'll be coming home to you
And they'll be coming home to you
They'll be coming home to you
And as the years go by
And they see their children grow up
A parents pride is in their eyes
They watch them laugh and see them cry
Cause they know the time will come when
They will have to let them go
And they'll make their way into to a world
Where the love don't always show
There comes a time
That no lover wants to see
When they get the call
They got to keep the nation free
And they play it strong
with a sad smile on their face
Cause they're going on
To make the world a better place
Till the day they're at the front lines
Where the battle rages on
And they know they're fighting for the right
For their loved ones to live on
And they were worlds away from rescue
Just their friends are at their side
And when it started looking dark
They searched the sky for one last ride
Lord they'll be coming home to you
They'll be coming home to you
Lord they'll be coming home to you
they'll be coming home to you
