I woke up this morning   To find the world in very bad shape      Freedom and his brother Faith   Had yet again made some more windows   And it was all live to tape      But then I remembered I had you   And I forgot it all as you said “I love you”   And right then I decided   If a man needs a cause to die for   Then I’ll make you mine      Chorus:   Home is by you   Home is by you   Wherever I’ll go   You’ll stay my truth      Home is by you   Home is by you   Wherever you go   Know that it’s true      I wasn’t born until I kissed you   I wasn’t home until I missed you   I’ve burned your name on my shoulder   And I’ll be your soldier always   For home is by you      Your happiness has got to be the prize   If I ever go to war      And I’ll need a promise from God   That you’ll be here waiting   To look after my scars      I’m so proud to be yours   I’m writing you anthems   And I can’t wait to travel the world to chant them      You see, I’ve just decided   If a man needs a cause to die for   Then I’ll make you mine      Chorus:   Home is by you   Home is by you   Wherever I’ll go   You’ll stay my truth      Home is by you   Home is by you   Wherever you go   Know that it’s true      I wasn’t born until I kissed you   I wasn’t home until I missed you   I’ve burned your name on my shoulder   And I’ll be your soldier always   For home is by you      And who knows   Maybe one day we’ll have our little army   And we’ll raise it to soldier for love   And isn’t the only way to change the world really   To leave the next ones with a heritage of love ?      Chorus:   Home is by you   Home is by you   Wherever I’ll go   You’ll stay my truth      Home is by you   Home is by you   Wherever you go   Know that it’s true      I wasn’t born until I kissed you   I wasn’t home until I missed you   I’ve burned your name on my shoulder   And I’ll be your soldier always      Chorus:   Home is by you   Home is by you   Wherever I’ll go   You’ll stay my truth      Home is by you   Home is by you   Wherever you go   Know that it’s true      I wasn’t born until I kissed you   I wasn’t home until I missed you   I’ve burned your name on my shoulder   And I’ll be your soldier always   For home is by you
