about
Come Home Soldier: A Soldier's Anthem is a tribute to United States veterans. This first release is country-styled and has a nostalgic feel evocative of early Americana, yet its message is timeless. This song will be enjoyed by those serving in any branch of the military, their families and friends. It is appropriate for all age groups and it is easy to sing along with. A great gift track for the holidays for our men and women in uniform and those who love them! Whether you are observing Veteran's Day, Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, or a religious holiday, Come Home Soldier makes a great addition with its mood of gratitude and reverence. The song expresses respect for those who serve in the armed forces and is a prayer for their safe return home. It also brings comfort to those with a loved one who has made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation and the cause of justice and freedom. Interested in having the song performed by Karen Ann and Black Ghost at your event? We welcome inquiries.
lyrics
Stars and stripes so proudly waving,
Blowing in the breeze so fair,
Old Glory, a sure reminder,
Of our soldiers everywhere.
Come home soldier,
Come home soon,
Come home safely,
With your platoon.
All our veterans through the years,
They give their lives,
We shed our tears.
All the brave men and women,
Who take away our fears.
Come home soldier,
You have our love,
You have served the nations,
And God above.
You stand for freedom,
And when the national anthem starts,
We stand to honor you,
With all our hearts.
