For Our Soldier
- Dedicated to all veterans and their families
Today’s the day
We’ve all been waiting
There’s so much to say
So many hearts racing
Welcome home son
We’re so proud of you brother
I’ve waited so long love
We have you to ourselves now father
The Almighty has brought you home
Bruised and scarred but pure and whole
It’s been a long hard road
We’ve seen the years take their toll
You’ve bravely served our country
From East to West and North to South
And been declared the victor
Having looked inside War’s ugly mouth.
You’ve inspired your men
Leading from the front
Of bullets, shrapnel and mines
You’ve often taken the brunt
For your fallen boys
We’ve seen you mourn
For the tragedy of lost lives
You’ve felt you must atone
We’ve watched you rise
And seen you fall
We still remember the times
We waited anxiously for your call
But now you’re home with us
We don’t plan to let you go
As always we will love and support you
By your side we will face any foe
A grateful nation salutes you
To them you’re a soldier no more
But our brave warrior you will always be
The depth of our pride and joy you’ll never know
