[Intro: “Tears of the Sun”]
And if you ever wonder why the heck she wore it
(And if you ever wonder why the heck she wore it)
She wore it for that soldier who was far, far, away
(She wore it for that soldier who was far, far, away)
[Hook 1: Anna] (Jaymz Johnson)
When you come home (I'm coming home)
I'll stop this (Don't worry)
When you come home (I'm coming home)
I'll hide this risk (So carry baby)
I'll never cry (Don't cry) again
When you (It's O.K) come home to me
[Verse 1]
I was just a young man told to go fight in the war
Decided about the violence; guns';
Shootin' and the gore
Waited for wealth for my friends and I
Kissed my mother
Sent off for foreign lands in a hungry gunna'
I boarded the plane
Waved goodbye to my dad
Looked behind me
People holding up American flag's
They can't deny how they tags on you
Wait into the plane
Nothin' really to lose
But nothin' really to gain
I'm just a pawn on the military;
General's chessboard
News' broadcasting
Use the war to keep the score
The plane is on it's way
Sink right over the ancient
And take a last glimpse of my baby and the children
I told you it's O.K
I'll come back to you one day
I'll hold you and the kids in my arm again one day
Come back and marry you like I said; one day
And we together, forever like a fairytale one day
[Hook 1]
[Verse 2]
We were walking one day
Morale was getting low
I can't handle any other's f**ing torture anymore
A firefight; erupted
Civilians taking guns'
Waved through western shooters in the back;
With 21's
Blood spilling out
Reachin', fireblasting the rebel
I ain't chicken but it was almost like I had; carpal tunnel
Bullet hits my chest
Fall down on my face
I called the medic
“Get me the f** out of this place”
Nobody comes
I'm just left here with the wounded
No running from the d**h at all
Soldiers are wounded
I closed my eyes
Saw lunatic as might I could
Anyone die for such a lie
I'm suffering on the battlefront
I wanna' go home
But I'm destined to die here on the ground all alone
It don't look like I'll be coming home walking tall
I'm sorry baby, I'm not coming home after all
[Hook 2: Anna]
I saw you (I'm sorry to inform you)
How can I? (But your husband pa**ed away yesterday)
I knew just where you'd be (He fought for his country, and for his fellow man, and he paid the ultimate price)
I'll sought this (He was a great husband, father, and man)
Real soon; when you're back safe with me (But he won't be coming home, we're sorry)
When you come home (I'm not coming home)
I'll stop this (I'm sorry)
When you come home (I'm not coming home)
I'll hide this risk (Take care of the kids)
I'll never cry (Don't cry) again (I'm sorry)
When you come home (Goodbye) to me (I love you)
