Lyrics
and every night they lie awake, and dream of mama's chocolate cake, and wonder if there'll be a tomorrow, and will they ever see their home and their family, or will they ever be back home, and boys who never learned to pray, look to the heavens everyday, and stumble through a simple little prayer, and ask the lord above, to send them home to the ones they love, oh, god, i hope they make it home, and every day some young man dies, and in the night some young girl cries, he'll never hear his baby's laughter, he'll never, ever see his home and his family, for what he's done for you and me, but i guess he's on his way back home
