A Soldier Fighting to Go Home

Standing on the battle lines
Don't know if I'll live or die
I'm a soldier fighting to go home.
All this warfare great and small
Someday will be worth it all
I'm a soldier fighting to go home.

Soon I'll lay this weapon down
And I'll leave this battle ground
And march right down the main street back at home
Where a celebration waits
I can see each happy face
But there's more work to do and this war isn't done
I'm a soldier fighting to go home.

I've been wounded, I've been scarred
With the night so long and hard
I'm a soldier fighting to go home
I've walked through valleys dark and steep
Weary days with little sleep
I'm a soldier fighting to go home.

There's been sickness there's been pain
But a soldier never does complain
When he's a soldier just fighting to go home.
Though this old world tries it's best
I will never stop to rest
Cause I'm a soldier fighting to go home.

Soon I'll lay this armor down
Trade it for a robe and crown
Take my victory march down streets of gold
Where a celebration waits
Just inside those pearly gates
But until the captain calls me to his throne
Yes, until the captain calls me to his throne
I'm a soldier fighting to go home.
Fighting to go home
Just fighting to go home.
