By God We'll Have Our Home Again

A Semi-original* song, This song is a modern Civil War-esque song telling the plight of a soldier who has found their home overtaken by those they are fighting. A little somber, this song took a bit to record so please forgive the late upload. As always Lyrics Below!

Thank you!

Lyrics,

When there’s nothing left but the fire in my chest
and the air that fills my lungs
I’ll hold my tears and trade my years
for a glimpse at kingdom come
On the other side of misery
there’s a world we long to see
The strife we share will take us there
to relief and sovereignty

Oh by god we’ll have our home again
by god we’ll have our home
By blood or sweat we’ll get there yet
By god we’ll have a home

In our own towns we’re foreigners now
our names are spat and cursed.
The headline smack of another attack,
not the last and not the worst.
Oh my fathers they look down on me
I wonder what they feel,
To see their noble sons driven down
beneath a cowards heel.

Oh by god we’ll have our home again
by god we’ll have our home
By blood or sweat we’ll get there yet
By god we’ll have a home

The way is dark, the road is lost
my eyes they strain to see.
I struggle forth to find a friend,
to light the way for me.
Oh brothers can you hear my voice
or am I all alone?
If there’s no fire to guide my way,
then I will start my own!

Oh by god we’ll have our home again
by god we’ll have our home
By blood or sweat we’ll get there yet
By god we’ll have a home

With my way lit I gaze upon it,
The dream we all do share.
A peaceful life, A child and a wife
Will be waiting for us there.
But if we don’t march on and fight till dawn
How lost it all will be!
They’ll take it all, leave us dead against the wall
And our sons will never be free.

Oh by god we’ll have our home again
by god we’ll have our home
By blood or sweat we’ll get there yet
By god we’ll have a home

Oh by god we’ll have our home again
by god we’ll have our home
By blood or sweat we’ll get there yet
By god we’ll have a home
