Halfway around the world tonight
In a strange and foreign land
A soldier packs his memories
As he leaves Afghanistan

And back home, they don't know too much
There's just no way to tell
I guess you had to be there
For to know that war was hell

And there won't be any victory parades
For those that's coming back
They'll fly them in at midnight
And unload the body sacks

And the living will be walking down
A long and lonely road
Because nobody seems to care these days
When a soldier makes it home

They'll say it wasn't easy
Just another job, well done
As the government in Kabul falls
To the sounds of rebel guns

And the faces of the comrades
Being blown out of the sky
Leaves you bitter with the feeling
That they didn't have to die

And there won't be any victory parades
For those that's coming back
They'll fly them in at midnight
And unload the body sacks

And the living will be walking down
A long and lonely road
Because nobody seems to care these days
When a soldier makes it home

Halfway around the world tonight
In a strange and foreign land
A soldier unpacks memories
That he saved from Vietnam

Back home they didn't know too much
There was just no way to tell
I guess you had to be there
For to know that war was hell

And there wasn't any big parades
For those that made it back
They flew them in at midnight
And unloaded all the sacks

And the living were left walking down
A long and lonely road
Because nobody seemed to care back then
When a soldier made it home

The night is coming quickly
And the stars are on their way
As I stare into the evening
Looking for the words to say

That I saw the lonely soldier
Just a boy that's far from home
And I saw that I was just like him
While upon this earth I roam

And there may not be any big parades
If I ever make it back
As I come home under cover
Through a world that can't keep track

Of the heroes who have fallen
Let alone the ones who won't
Which is why nobody seems to care
When a soldier makes it home


Mirror lyrics:

When a soldier makes it home
Which is why nobody seems to care
Let alone the ones who won't
Of the heroes who have fallen

Through a world that can't keep track
As I come home under cover
If I ever make it back
And there may not be any big parades

While upon this earth I roam
And I saw that I was just like him
Just a boy that's far from home
That I saw the lonely soldier

Looking for the words to say
As I stare into the evening
And the stars are on their way
The night is coming quickly

When a soldier made it home
Because nobody seemed to care back then
A long and lonely road
And the living were left walking down

And unloaded all the sacks
They flew them in at midnight
For those that made it back
And there wasn't any big parades

For to know that war was hell
I guess you had to be there
There was just no way to tell
Back home they didn't know too much

That he saved from Vietnam
A soldier unpacks memories
In a strange and foreign land
Halfway around the world tonight

When a soldier makes it home
Because nobody seems to care these days
A long and lonely road
And the living will be walking down

And unload the body sacks
They'll fly them in at midnight
For those that's coming back
And there won't be any victory parades

That they didn't have to die
Leaves you bitter with the feeling
Being blown out of the sky
And the faces of the comrades

To the sounds of rebel guns
As the government in Kabul falls
Just another job, well done
They'll say it wasn't easy

When a soldier makes it home
Because nobody seems to care these days
A long and lonely road
And the living will be walking down

And unload the body sacks
They'll fly them in at midnight
For those that's coming back
And there won't be any victory parades

For to know that war was hell
I guess you had to be there
There's just no way to tell
And back home, they don't know too much

As he leaves Afghanistan
A soldier packs his memories
In a strange and foreign land
Halfway around the world tonight
