Letters From Home

Verse 1

Dust on my boots in a foreign place

Tryin’ to remember your sweet face

Your last words still echo clear

“Come back safe, I’ll be right here”

I keep your picture in my vest

Right by the pounding in my chest

And every night before I sleep

I read the lines you wrote to me

Verse 2

Boys beside me from different towns

Different stories but same ground

We laugh to hide what we all know

Not everyone here makes it home

But we stand tall, we hold the line

For freedom bought in sacrifice

And every step through fire and fear

I hear your voice inside my ear

Pre-Chorus

It ain’t about the glory or the pride

It’s about the ones we left behind

Chorus

These are letters from home

Written in your hand

Holdin’ me together

In a broken land

Every word a reason

Every line a prayer

When I feel like fallin’

I find you there

If I don’t make it back someday

Just know I gave my all

With these letters from home

Verse 3

Sun comes up through desert skies

Another day just trying to survive

But hope’s alive in ink and page

Keeps me strong through every wave

And when this war is finally through

The only place I’m running to

Is that porch light shining bright

Guiding me back home at night

Bridge

If love could carry me through this fight

I’d already be home tonight

Final Chorus (Big)

Yeah these are letters from home…

And they’re the reason I hold on
