When are you coming home - Heather Martin

You were almost sixteen when I came into the world.

Mom and Dad had you first then 3 more boys I\u2019m the baby girl.

I sure have a lot to look up to in you, you\u2019re really smart and funny with a big heart too.

After one year of college you knew what you had to do.

It\u2019s just like you wanting to help with the war.

So you joined the army when I was only 4.

This time of year we talk of big plans but you\u2019re over seas in some distant land.

You can\u2019t be here for Christmas, I don\u2019t understand.

Chorus:

When are you coming home, Shaun?

When are you coming home?!

We lit up the house like we always do but it doesn\u2019t seem bright \u2019cause we can\u2019t have you.

In my prayers I ask God to keep you safe.

And I\u2019m trying to be really brave.

Tell me that the fighting\u2019s through.

Come home!

I really miss you.

It\u2019s hard to enjoy the holidays without you.

But we\u2019re so proud of you and all the red white and blue.

Remember that Jesus is your best friend,

And someday our families will be together again.

Wow! You know we\u2019ll have a great big party then.

Chorus

I want to show you how tall I\u2019ve grown and introduce you to my new friends at school.

Maybe we could go and get some ice cream together but I really don\u2019t care what we do.

I can not help crying when hearing the voice of the little Heather Martin and reading this lyric. I just want to say "f*cking war, f*cking the US and all they've done, but I know that it's useless. People said Iraq is a new Vietnam, and what happened in our country will happen again in Iraq. Who knows, may be her brother Shaun will lay down and her questions will never be answered.

I wish for the world peace , and good luck to Shaun
