We thought that last tour
Would be the end of it all
Until that morning
You answered the call
Feeling sorry for ourselves
There isn't the time
There's a bag to pack
And boots to shine
Like a wave you'll wonder why your there
And the distance between us
Will be the only thing we share
So climb the highest mountain
The one with the furthest view
Look into the horizon
You'll see the front gate open for you
Welcome Home Welcome home
On the wings of fallen angels
Freedom has flown
It's going to be loud
It's going to sound proud
We've been waiting for the day
When we can all say
Welcome home
Billy Smith has always been good to me
He came back home in 1973
As you sail upon
Uncharted waters
Answer the call
Of our sons and our daughters
We could cry about all the time that we've lost
Or we could pick things right back up where we left off
And as we try and understand
The sacrifice that we gave
A warm win blows across this land
And that flag starts to wave
Welcome home Welcome home
On the wings of fallen angels freedom has flown
It's going to be loud
It's going to sound proud
We've been waiting for the day
When we can all say
Welcome Home
