Roxie
Standing in the shade of Rushmore, in the summer sun
I saw you there
As I walked up, she leaned against your knee
To let you know it was only me
We'd never met before that day
But you told me your story and your name
The story of a soldier
Who'll never be the same
You want to go to your daughter's play
But you're afraid of the world out there
More worried about the war outside your door
Than the one you trained and fought for
So Roxie brings you home
You don't need to be alone
I hope you know
There are so many people
Who are proud of and thankful for you
And we're glad you made it home
He said, "Leading soldiers through desert sand--it's who I am
It's what I know
There's danger all around--takes courage every day
And prayer from back home"
Thought a lot about that day
When you told me your story and your name
The story of a soldier
I'll never be the same
"The heat of battle our mission clear and cold
Fearless then, choosing friend or foe
Now afraid of the day when I stand before God
With nothing but my soul"
Oh, He will bring you home
You won't need to be alone
I hope you know
There are so many people
Who are proud of and thankful for you
And we're glad you made it home
Oh, Roxie's just a dog, I know
But in my eyes she is quite a hero
Slowly ever slowly, she is helping
Helping him home
Oh, Roxie brings you home
You don't need to be alone
I hope you know
There are so many people
Who are proud of and thankful for you
And I'm glad you made it home
You made it home
You made it home...
Welcome home!
I saw you there
As I walked up, she leaned against your knee

You want to go to your daughter's play
But you're afraid of the world out there
More worried about the war outside your door

So Roxie brings you home
You don't need to be alone
I hope you know
There are so many people
Who are proud of and thankful for you

Who are proud of and thankful for you
And I'm glad you made it home
You made it home
You made it home...
Welcome home!
