There is no doubt today
The cynics and the critics have faded dead away.
Every wound has healed
The meaning of their struggles has now been revealed.
Confetti is falling like snow.
Supporters are waving their signs.
It's a hero's homecoming today.
They've waited all their lives
For the day of rest and resolution to arrive.
Their heads and hands raised high
The ones who went before them standing by their sides.
Confetti is falling like snow.
Supporters are waving their signs.
It's a hero's homecoming today.
Underneath the smiles
A melancholy weighs upon them all the while.
They can't forget the cost –
The innocence of youth and brave ones who were lost…
Confetti is falling like snow.
Supporters are waving their signs.
It's a hero's homecoming today.
