I woke up this morning

To find the world in very bad shape



Freedom and his brother Faith

Had yet again made some more windows

And it was all live to tape



But then I remembered I had you

And I forgot it all as you said “I love you”

And right then I decided

If a man needs a cause to die for

Then I'll make you mine



Chorus:

Home is by you

Home is by you

Wherever I'll go

You'll stay my truth



Home is by you

Home is by you

Wherever you go

Know that it's true



I wasn't born until I kissed you

I wasn't home until I missed you

I've burned your name on my shoulder

And I'll be your soldier always

For home is by you



Your happiness has got to be the prize

If I ever go to war



And I'll need a promise from God

That you'll be here waiting

To look after my scars



I'm so proud to be yours

I'm writing you anthems

And I can't wait to travel the world to chant them



You see, I've just decided

If a man needs a cause to die for

Then I'll make you mine



Chorus:

Home is by you

Home is by you

Wherever I'll go

You'll stay my truth



Home is by you

Home is by you

Wherever you go

Know that it's true



I wasn't born until I kissed you

I wasn't home until I missed you

I've burned your name on my shoulder

And I'll be your soldier always

For home is by you



And who knows

Maybe one day we'll have our little army

And we'll raise it to soldier for love

And isn't the only way to change the world really

To leave the next ones with a heritage of love ?



Chorus:

Home is by you

Home is by you

Wherever I'll go

You'll stay my truth



Home is by you

Home is by you

Wherever you go

Know that it's true



I wasn't born until I kissed you

I wasn't home until I missed you

I've burned your name on my shoulder

And I'll be your soldier always



Chorus:

Home is by you

Home is by you

Wherever I'll go

You'll stay my truth



Home is by you

Home is by you

Wherever you go

Know that it's true



I wasn't born until I kissed you

I wasn't home until I missed you

I've burned your name on my shoulder

And I'll be your soldier always

For home is by you
