A SOLDIER MADE IT HOME

A soldier made it home today

wrapped in the stars and bars

his jurney is over now

for he soars among the stars

 

The bugle played the last farewell

t'was so sad to hear it play

but a hero brave and loyal

has made it home today

 

He'went to fight for liberty

to fight the foreign foe

he went because he wanted to

he didn't have to go

 

Now he's come back a hero

and he's come back all alone

he left a young and timid boy

but a hero made it hme

 

He gave his life that we may live

there in that foreign land

and as his life blood ebbed away

he lay silent, in the sand

 

Now family and friends have gathered

to say their last goodbye

and his little son stood silent

a tear trickling from his eye

 

But he's going to be like Daddy

and be a soldier by and by

and he'll be brave, wipe off his face

for hero's never cry
