In a cell a man waits for a pardon
and he knows that no one thinks he's alive
and he hopes and he prays as he counts the endless days
someone will come and take him home
Bring him home
Wake up America, don't leave your men there needlessly,
Wake up America, the time is now, can't you see?
In Korea men were left like this man,
389 are twenty years left behind,
now's the time to make a list
Get every name, you must insist!
it would be a crime not to try - Vietnam, identify
Wake up America, don't leave your men there needlessly,
Wake up America, the time is now, can't you see?
Somewhere at home a woman prays alone each night
without a husband or the right for single life
if you listen, soft and low, a broken voice will whisper
"Oh God please bring him home,
bring him home!"
Wake up America, don't leave your men there needlessly,
Wake up America, the time is now, can't you see
Wake up America, don't leave your men there needlessly,
Wake up America, the time is now, can't you see
and he knows that no one thinks he's alive
and he hopes and he prays as he counts the endless days
someone will come and take him home
Bring him home
Wake up America, don't leave your men there needlessly,
Wake up America, the time is now, can't you see?
In Korea men were left like this man,
389 are twenty years left behind,
now's the time to make a list
Get every name, you must insist!
it would be a crime not to try - Vietnam, identify
Wake up America, don't leave your men there needlessly,
Wake up America, the time is now, can't you see?
Somewhere at home a woman prays alone each night
without a husband or the right for single life
if you listen, soft and low, a broken voice will whisper
"Oh God please bring him home,
bring him home!"
Wake up America, don't leave your men there needlessly,
Wake up America, the time is now, can't you see
Wake up America, don't leave your men there needlessly,
Wake up America, the time is now, can't you see
