Out of the mist of history
He'll come again
Sailing on ships across the sea

To a wounded Nation

Signs of a saviour

Like fire on the water
It's what we prayed for
One of our own


Just wait
Though wide he may roam

Always
A hero comes home
He goes where no one has gone

But always
A hero comes home


Deep in the heart of darkness sparks
A dream of light
Surrounded by hopelessness

He finds the will to fight

There's no surrender

Always remember
It doesn't end here
We're not alone


Just wait
Though wide he may roam

Always
A hero comes home
He goes where no one has gone

But always
A hero comes home


And he will come back on the crimson tide
Dead or alive
And even though we know the bridge has burned

He will return
He will return


Just wait
Though wide he may roam
Always

A hero comes home
He knows of places unknown
Always

A hero comes home

Someday they'll carve in stone

"The hero comes home"

He goes and comes back alone

But always
A hero comes home


Just wait
Though wide he may roam
Always

A hero comes home
