Free are Home

the free are home
the free are home
brought on soldiers backs
and tank treads
the free are home
the free are home
seized by bullet holes
sunk by wandering
the free are home
the free are home
and we left them to dry
no blood on our floors

the free are home
and the walls are on fire
the free are home
and the floors have sunk
the free are home
and they will still wander
the free are home
and i'm sick of their crying

we let them go out
and now we forgot
