lyrics

LETTERS FROM HOME

Half a world away is a hard place to be
Away from your country
Culture, home and family
Lots of time to think of how
You could have done things differently
The price of freedom is not pain free
Hours pass like days
Weeks, eternity
Longing for something familiar to see
Depression plays its mind games
Can't reach family on the phone
But just in time you get a letter from home

Letters from home
Take me back to the place
Surrounded by your warmth
Your love, your smiling face
Letter from home
Tell me it will be alright
I'll make it back safely from this fight
I cherish my letters from home

In your words I can see our family
Laughter fills the home
Exchanging gifts around the tree
How I long to be there, how I long to see
So I'll send my love in a letter overseas

Letters from home
Take me back to the place
Surrounded by your warmth
Your love, your smiling face
Letter from home
Tell me it will be alright
I'll make it back safely from this fight
I cherish my letters from home

Letters of support, letters of love
Seal it with a kiss and a prayer from above

Letters from home
Take me back to the place
Surrounded by your warmth
Your love, your smiling face
Letter from home
Tell me it will be alright
I'll make it back safely from this fight
I cherish my letters from home
