Bring Him Home
by Meredith C HartwellHe's rounding third,
and he's looking for the sign.
He's not sure if he'll make it,
but the game is on the line.
Here I am,
and I'm screaming out his name.
I'm gonna show him that I love him,
and that love will never change.
Because I'm here for him,
and I'll cheer for him,
and I'll be here all day long.
Bring him home.
Bring him home.
I'm here waiting...
Bring him home.
He got a call,
and he's going off to war.
And we're not sure if he'll make it,
but that's what a soldier's for.
Here I am,
and I'm screaming out his name.
I'm gonna show him that I love him,
and that love will never change.
I know I'm right for him,
and I'll fight for him,
and I'll be strong while he's gone.
Bring him home.
Bring him home.
I'm here waiting...
Bring him home.
And he came home...
He came home
to the home I'd made for us.
And we're not sure if we'll make it,
but I'll give it all I've got.
Here I am,
and I'm screaming out his name.
It's not enough to say I love him,
because somehow his love changed.
He said, It wasn't you,
I need something new,
gotta see what else is
out there waiting...
So Jezebel,
when he's looking for that sign,
and you're not sure if you'll make it,
and you're getting tired of trying...
Bring him home.
Bring him home.
I'm here waiting...
Bring him home.
Bring him home.
Bring him home.
I'm still waiting....
Bring him home.

| Posted by Tony Whitaker on 01/17/07 at 09:53 AM Good morning Meredith. I felt compelled to sikt down and put this to music. It is a simple acoustical 4-chrod progression (D, Dsus4, C, G) then on the "Bring him home" I dis a walk down from Cadd9, E7, Asus, G/D. It is a beautiful lyric and I will work on it to make it even more so. But remember to bleed is to know you are alive and love will come again if he doesn't come home to all those that read this! Excellent. |

| Posted by Becca Kinser on 01/21/07 at 11:41 PM And by that I meant "I". |

| Posted by Mara Meade on 09/11/07 at 09:06 PM Send this one in, Meredith. It's very powerful. |
