The Request

They were taught to wear a war face
But when it came right down to it
All the soldiers had the same request.

Please take me home safely
My work here is done
Please take me home.

They were taught to be tough
And not to worry so much,
But when it came right down to it
All the families had the same request

Please bring them home safely
Their work there is done
Please bring them home.

He taught us to stay strong
And to keep up the faith,
But after it is all over with
Jesus made his request,

You can come home safely
Your work there is done
Please come home to me.
