Gary Puckett & The Union Gap - Home 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 (home)
