[Verse 1]
I'm a soldier on the field
Fighting for you, fighting for me
You can see it on our faces
Like the bullets leave traces
You can feel it for real

[Pre-Chorus]
You can't imagine the pain of my baby so far away
So far from my home...

[Chorus]
When they comin' home?
When they leavin' that place?
To see their lovers face again
Kid will see his daddy's face again

When they comin' home?
Oh shed some grace!
To see their lovers face again
Kid will see his daddy's face again

[Verse 2]
I'm a soldier on the field
Waiting to die, praying to live
To survive one more day
But my hope begins to fray
It's my flesh against the steel
[Pre-Chorus]
You'll never know what I've known
You'll never see what I've seen
I hope we make it home...

[Chorus]
When they comin' home?
When they leavin' that place?
To see their lovers face again
Kid will see his daddy's face again
When they comin' home?

Oh shed some grace!
Put your peace in the valley tonight
Bring the soldier home alright
When they coming' home?

Oh, when they leavin' that place?
To see their lovers face again
Kid will see his daddy's face again


[Bridge]
So far from home
She cries, politics aside
What I'd give to have him here tonight
[Chorus]
When they comin' home?
When they leavin' that place?
To see their lovers face again
Kid will see his daddy's face again
When they comin' home?

Oh shed some grace!
Put your peace in the valley tonight
Bring the soldier home alright
When they coming' home?

Oh, children playing in the sun?
To see their lovers face again
Kid will see his daddy's face again
When they comin' home?

[Outro]
Oh, Mama braidin' your sweet hair, home
Put your peace in the valley tonight
Bring the soldier home alright
When they coming' home?

Oh, children playing in the sun?
To see their lovers face again
Kid will see his daddy's face again
When they comin' home?
Oh, Mama braidin' your sweet hair, home
When they coming' home?
