Going Home

I wake in the grass of the ground I kissed
With these thoughts of my family and all I missed in my life
I'm just 21
Its only a week since they gave me this gun

But I open my eyes and my hands are red
And my body is aching and no one is left with me now
The rest have all gone
Soon I'll go too, I'm going home

Sound of thunder, that's all I heard
The fight was over, my fate was turned, and now,
Nothing's left but the ground and me
And this song
And this sky

There's a girl in my hometown I truly loved
But I never told her
I was waiting for some kind of moment to come along
Well look at me now, my moment is gone

What would I tell her if she were here now?
"You are beauty and truth, you are everything I ever wanted
Or could ever need
And where I go now, I will take you with me"

Sound of thunder, that's all I heard
The fight was over, my fate was turned, and now,
Nothing's left but the ground and me
And this song
And this sky

Going home, going home
To the answer, I know
Where my burden will fall
At the edge of it all
I'm going home

Now I see my mother and I see my dad
And I see all the best friends I ever had

Sound of thunder, that's all I heard
The fight was over, my fate was turned, and now,
Nothing's left but the ground and me
And this song
And this sky

Going home, going home
To the answer, I know
Where my burden will fall
At the edge of it all
I'm going home
