Out of the midst of history   He'll come again   Sailing on ships across the sea   To a wounded nation      Signs of a savior   Like fire on the water   It's what we've 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      Some day he may be carved 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
