Lyrics:

And every night they lie awake
And dream of Mama's chocolate cake
And wonder if there'll be a tomorrow
And will they ever see their home
And their family
Oh, will they ever be back home?
Oh-oh
And boys who never learned to pray
Look to the heavens everyday
And stumble through a simple little prayer
They ask the Lord above
To send them home to the ones they love
Oh, God, I hope they make it home
Hm-mm

And everyday some young man dies
And in the night some young girl cries
He'll never hear his baby's laughter
He'll never ever see his home and his family
Or what he's done for you and me
But I guess he's on his way back home
Oh-oh
