Bring ‘em Home

BRING ‘EM HOME
(Country Roads)

Bring ‘em home, bring ‘em home
Bring ‘em back where they belong
They’re our children
Stop the killin’
Bring ‘em home, bring ’em home.

They have marched off to learn
How to kill–and be killed;
Will they know how to love us
And be kind, and be kind?

Those who made this bad war
Sent them off filled with lies;
Some are dyin’, some are cryin’
Broken hearts are their prize.

Are their minds filled with fear?
Are their souls filled with shame?
For their country, they have slaughtered
Will they know whom to blame?

Bring ‘em home, bring ‘em home
Bring ‘em back where they belong
They’re our children
Stop the killin’
Bring ‘em home, bring ’em home.
