He's returning now from overseas
It's been 3 long years that he's been gone
Coming back to the place that he loves
A place his family still calls home

I remember on the day that young man left
He was out to conquer it all
To become everything a man can be
To make his mark while standing tall

Returning now from overseas
He's coming back on a chartered plane
Coming back to the place that he loves
But things will never be the same

He kept in touch, with his words of love
From places that were far away
He made good in his chosen craft
Now he's getting this award today

Returning now from overseas
The flight will soon be touching-down
Coming back to the place that he loves
He'll always have a place in our town

The News has the reporters out
There's a band for his arrival
The mayor will make a speech
Even Reverend John will preach

Cause he's returning now in a box
With a flag draped over top
Coming back to the place he loved
Gave his life so terrorism stops

Who Would think that we'd be feeling so sad?
When we came to celebrate his role
Is It Ever Really Worth The Sacrifice
Its something we may never really know

He's calling out from a box
Through the flag draped over top
Bring me back to the place that I love!
Will this war and fightin' ever stop?
