Alan Silvestri - A Hero Comes Home

Out of the mist of history he'll come again
Sailing on ships across the sea to a wounded nation
Signs of a saviour and fire on the water
It's what we 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

Someday he may carve his 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.
