LYRICS for the song titled ‘I’ll Be Home Soon’
Young Jack with eyes so bright
Wakes up to the morning light
Boots laced and ready to fight
He dreams of glory in the night
Leaves this green and pleasant land
Gun lies heavy in his hand
Battles loud a thunderous band
Prays for strength to help him stand
Oh Jack please come back
Brave heart don’t stray from the pack
For our love stay on track
Fight on young soldier Jack
Letters home a shaky scrawl
Men in trenches shadows fall
Hears his comrades’ urgent call
Jack stands tall throughout it all
In the heat of war Jack fights
Through the endless days and nights
He’s a flame that burns so bright
I’ll be home soon to his mother he writes
Oh Jack please come back
Brave heart don’t stray from the pack
For our love stay on track
Fight on young soldier Jack
ONLY IN SONG ALONE
In the heat of war Jack fights
Through the endless days and nights
He’s a flame that burns so bright
I’ll be home soon to his mother he writes
Oh Jack please come back
Brave heart don’t stray from the pack
For our love stay on track
Fight on young soldier Jack
