Lost and all alone
In the corner of the bar
Sits a soldier who's come home
From a distant land afar
Thou no one know's his name
Or why he's even there
With a bottle of whiskey to kill the pain
It's like no one really cares
There's an anger deep inside he can't let go of
The world he came back to
Is not the one he left behind
When a soldier returns home
From a foreign land
We must not forget
There were there for you and me
From the Great Lakes on down
To the Rio Grande
And in every VFW Hall
Is a soldier who is lost and all alone
So Let's not forget
Each and every one of them
We must remember
That they are our Heroes
From the minefields in Afghanistan
To the battlefields in their minds
They're always fighting demons
That they just can't leave behind
The depression and the nightmares
Leave him lost and all alone
Only a soldier knows coming home
Doesn't mean.. coming home
There's an anger deep inside he can't let go of
The world he came back to
Is not the one he left behind
When a soldier returns home
From a foreign land
We must not forget
There were there for you and me
From the Great Lakes on down
To the Rio Grande
And in every VFW Hall
Is a soldier who is lost and all alone
So Let's not forget
Each and every one of them
We must remember
That they are our Heroes
And in every VFW Hall
Is a soldier who is lost and all alone
So Let's not forget
Each and every one of them
We must remember
That they are our Heroes
