A Hero Comes Home

Out of the mist of history He'll come again Sailing on ships across the sea To a wounded Nation Signs of a saviour Like fire on the water It's what we prayed for One of our own Just wait Though wide he may roam Always A hero comes home He goes where no one has gone But always A hero comes home Deep in the heart of darkness sparks A dream of light Surrounded by hopelessness He finds the will to fight There's no surrender Always remember It doesn't end here We're not alone Just wait Though wide he may roam Always A hero comes home He goes where no one has gone But always A hero comes home And he will come back on the crimson tide Dead or alive And even though we know the bridge has burned He will return He will return Just wait Though wide he may roam Always A hero comes home He knows of places unknown Always A hero comes home Someday they'll carve in stone "The hero comes home" He goes and comes back alone But always A hero comes home Just wait Though wide he may roam Always A hero comes home
