A Hero Comes Home

Out of the mist of history
He'll come again
Sailing on ships across the sea
To a wounded Nation.

Signs of a savior
Like fire on the water
It's what we prayed for
One of our own.

Just wait
Though wide he may roam
Always
A hero comes home
He goes where no one has gone
But always
A hero comes home.

Deep in the heart of darkness sparks
A dream of light
Surrounded by hopelessness
He finds the will to fight.

There's no surrender
Always remember
It doesn't end here
We're not alone.

Just wait
Though wide he may roam
Always
A hero comes home
He goes where no one has gone
But always
A hero comes home.

And he will come back on a crimson tide
Dead or alive
And even though we know the bridge has burned
He will return
He will return.

Just wait
Though wide he may roam
Always.

A hero comes home
He knows of places unknown
But always
A hero comes home.

Someday he may carve in stone
"The hero comes home".

He goes and comes back alone
But always
A hero comes home.

Just wait
Though wide he may roam
Always
A hero comes home.
