Hero's Homecoming

There is no doubt today
The cynics and the critics have faded dead away
Every wound has healed
The meaning of their struggles has now been revealed

Pre-chorus:
Confetti is falling like snow
Supporters are waving their signs

Chorus:
It's a hero's homecoming
It's a hero's homecoming
It's a hero's homecoming today

They've waited all their lives
For the day of rest and resolution to arrive
Their heads and hands raised high
The ones who went before them standing by their sides

Pre-chorus

Chorus

Underneath the smiles
A melancholy weighs upon them all the while
They can't forget the cost
The innocence of youth and brave ones who were lost

Pre-chorus

Chorus
