Out of the mist of history he'll come again
Sailing on ships across the sea to a wounded nation
Signs of a savior and 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 a 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
But always a hero comes home


Someday he may carve his 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.
