Here's hoping to your return.
Come back again, back on land.
Where freedom does reign and burn
Unlike Iraqi sand.
May a thousand prayers be with you.
May higher powers lead you strong
May courage and faith and American pride
Be your guides all day long.
Fight like you have never fought before.
Not with fists, but with sharpened minds.
Think of what may be, of what may come,
If Hussein crossed those lines.
Think of all those lives that would be lost
All that innocent flesh.
Saddam would maim and kill some more,
He wouldn't even second guess.
Yes, fight, fight! Fight!
But as you do, please remember
Those lives that were lost and exstinguished,
Back in the early hours of September.
So don't fight out of hate.
Fight out of simplicity and love.
For that is what the United States,
Is truly made of.
Red, white and blue.
Colors of our bruise.
Heal the nation, cure the sick
This is the power you must use.
To the troops overseas,
Be careful, be not afraid.
For a nation is behind you,
Family, friends, … strangers
An American parade.
Find strength in your allies
Find commitment in your vows
Find honor in your profession
Find armor in your bows.
Do not worry, marine soldier,
Do not be scared, troopers so young,
There is nothing to be frightened of
For a new beginning has begun.
So please come back, soldiers.
Come back with your mission complete.
Come home to where you once were born
Where, on welcome mats,
You wipe your boots and feet.
Come back to open arms.
Come back to of which you are.
Come back, soldiers, come back.
Come back, from away afar.
