We started in October Drowned our sins in cold November rain Thoughts all through December Prayed for snow to cover up the pain Been so long under winter's night Waiting for the sun Watching the horizon Everybody's coming home for summer Battlefields a thousand miles away What a feeling, taste the freedom There with every bite Finally we're coming home We shadow-boxed the enemy Swing until we extradite our fears They're backed into a corner Ring the bell, we shed our blood and tears Like hibernating stowaways, hoping for the sun Watching the horizon Everybody's coming home for summer Battlefields a thousand miles away What a feeling, taste the freedom There with every bite Finally we're coming home Oh, we suffered in silence Through storms and through violence We stayed our way The waves have subsided Clouds have divided (I found) found a reason to survive Found the will to stay alive That will be the last thing that we do Heading for summer Back home for summer Everybody's coming home for summer (everybody) Battlefields a thousand miles away What a feeling (what a feeling) Taste the freedom (taste the freedom) There with every bite Finally we're coming home Oh, we're coming home Oh, I'm coming home
