Waiting for December

War, is an ugly word
Is it ever really won?
Some heroes come home to their families
And others are left behind
We're still waiting here at the table
We've poured you a glass of wine
Your picture sits on the mantle
It greets me with a smile

We're waiting for December
Is that when you're coming home?
The nights are getting colder
We're right here right here at home
It's a heavy load to carry
For a boy of 21

We're still waiting here at the later
Our arms are open wide
We lift a prayer to the heavens
May God's love be with you

We're waiting for December
Is that when you're coming home?
The nights are getting colder
We're right here right here at home
It's a heavy load to carry
For a boy of 21
A boy of 21

We're waiting for December
Is that when you're coming home?
The nights are getting colder
We're right here right here at home
It's a heavy load to carry
For a boy of 21
A boy of 21

And when you lay your head to sleep
I'll pray the Lord your soul to keep
I'll wish on stars and satellites
On moving trains and airplane lights
Be safe there's danger everywhere
Watch out for bombs and hand grenades
And when you lay your head to sleep
Just know that I will be here
Waiting for you
