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      Confetti is falling like snow   Supporters are waving their signs   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      Confetti is falling like snow   Supporters are waving their signs   It's a hero's homecoming today      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      Confetti is falling like snow   Supporters are waving their signs   It's a hero's homecoming today
