I’M HOME
I remember the day I came home from the war. I threw my shoulders back and I opened the door.
There was a crowd standing around with tears in their eyes. I said I’m home, and no one was surprised.
I looked over in the corner, and I could see a casket draped in red, white, and blue, and on it, it said, J.J. O’Reilly. – I said that’s me – how could that be.
When I looked around I can see them, but they couldn’t see me. I turned around and shouted, “I’m home can’t you see”!
Then again, I can see them, but they couldn’t see me. Then I realized those tears were for me – I’M HOME!
You no longer need to worry about me, I’M HOME ! So, shed no more tears for me. I’M HOME ! In a little town called Frankford – this is home to me – I’M HOME!
