Out of the mist of history, he'll come again Sailing on ships across the sea, to a wounded nation Signs of a savior, like fire on the water, It's what we've prayed for, one of our own Just wait, though while he may roam, Always, A hero comes home He goes, where no one has gone, But always, A hero comes home Deep in the heart of darkness sparks, a dream of light Surrounded by hopelessness, he finds the will to fight There's no surrender, always remember, It doesn't end here, we're not alone Just wait, though while he may roam, Always, A hero comes home He goes, where no one has gone, But always, A hero comes home And he will come back on a crimson tide, Dead or alive And even though we know the bridge has burned, He will return He will return Just wait, though while he may roam, Always, A hero comes home He knows, of places unknown, But always, A hero comes home Someday they'll carve in stone, "The hero comes home" He goes, and comes back alone, But always, A hero comes home Just wait, though while he may roam, Always, A hero comes home!
