Into The Arms of Home

This is just a meadow
Like so many that you know
Where boys and girls played soldiers
In the sunny long ago

I am not a hero
No more or less than you
I’m just like all the others
Who did what we had to do

Sing me a song when the fields are in flower
And I’ll never lie here alone
Love will bring me across the water
Into the arms of home
Into the arms of home

Weep not for me in summer
Nor the winter, spring or fall
For I’ve seen my share of sorrow
When I was standing tall

Your tears will take me nowhere
I’ve not already known
But a melody can move me
Ever closer on to home

Sing me a song when the fields are in flower
And I’ll never lie here alone
Love will bring me across the water
Into the arms of home
Into the arms of home

Sing me a song when the fields are in flower
And I’ll never lie here alone
Love will bring me across the water
Into the arms of home
Into the arms of
Home
