We're Coming Home Tomorrow |  | We're coming home tomorrow
On shining silver wings
I'm coming back to you my love
With all my heart can bring
Let the light glow in the window
Take those ribbons off the trees
I'm coming home tomorrow
And there with you ... I'll always be
I'm lifting off from Baghdad
Like my brothers did before
From Saigon and from Seoul
And all those other distant shores
We didn't want to go there
But we did it just the same
You ask us all to go there
To defend this home again
I have so many stories
Of the glory and the fame
Of the brothers who served with me
For our country and our name
Now we're wrapped in blessed blankets
Of the flag from whence we came
We're Americans and we're soldiers
And we're coming home again | David Willson
