[Verse 1]
Woke up so fresh this morning, love to wake up to your heat
Smiles at traffic lights, I'm so selective with the company I keep
Some never gonna see the evening picking one too many fights
Hear a new born baby getting stronger through the freezing winter nights
Some never get to see the morning
Claiming darkness feeds their needs
Some are breathing underwater on a river in the reeds

[Chorus]
Only so many soldiers come home
Only so many soldiers, so many soldiers come home

[Verse 2]
Woke up so fresh this morning, love to wake up to your heat
Smiles at traffic lights, I'm so selective with the company I keep

[Chorus]
So many soldiers come home
So many soldiers, so many soldiers come home

[Verse 3]
This road you walk, this path you tread
Sweet I shall see and heaven fed
These avenues and bridges far
These narrow streets and these backyards in it

[Chorus]
Only so many soldiers come home
So many soldiers, so many soldiers come home

[Outro]
Soldiers, soldiers, soldiers, soldiers
Come home, come home
