Little Soldier Boy
Little Solider Boy
Verse
Snow is falling as he makes his way back home
It's been a while since he has been in this small town
He's safe and sound when he's here
Color, which has long been faded, will fill his world
Gone will be the dark and perilous skies of war
He'll be okay, when he's here
Pre-Chorus
His safe haven, his tranquility
Will give him some peace as they mislead the mourn
His family, his sanctuary
Has been waiting for the day of his return
Chorus
Little solider boy comes marching home
He'll be just fine when morning comes
Frightened solider boy was missing home
After all this time, he will be warm
Brave soldier boy is coming home
While he's here, he won't be alone
Aching msoldier boy is nearly home
Soon he'll be in his mother's arms
Verse
The hopeful smile on his face has replaced horror
Red is not a color to be afraid of
This time of year, while he's here
Like the ocean waves washing footprints in the sand
His soul leaves behind the pain in Afghanistan
His slate is clean, while he's here
Pre-Chorus
His safe haven, his tranquility
Will give him some peace as they mislead the mourn
His family, his sanctuary
Has been waiting for the day of his return
Chorus
Little solider boy comes marching home
He'll be just fine when morning comes
Frightened solider boy was missing home
After all this time, he will be warm
Brave soldier boy is coming home
While he's here, he won't be alone
Aching soldier boy is nearly home
Soon he'll be in his father's arms
Bridge
He counts his blessings, praying to God
Looking above he makes a vow
To cherish all the time that he has
This is not the place to be sad
The time will come again for his family
To sit and wait impatiently
for his return
Chorus
Little solider boy comes marching home
He'll be just fine when morning comes
Frightened solider boy was missing home
After all this time, he will be warm
Brave soldier boy is coming home
While he's here, he won't be alone
Aching soldier boy is nearly home
Soon he'll be in his brother's arms
Little solider boy comes marching home
He'll be just fine when morning comes
Frightened solider boy was missing home
After all this time, he will be warm
Brave soldier boy is coming home
While he's here, he won't be alone
Aching soldier boy is nearly home
Soon he'll be in his sister's arms
Little solider boy comes marching home
He'll be just fine when morning comes
Frightened solider boy was missing home
After all this time, he will be warm
Brave soldier boy is coming home
While he's here, he won't be alone
Aching soldier boy is nearly home
Soon he'll be in his lover's arms
My mtypo is still there
