[00:00.00]When They Come Back - Derek Sholl
[00:09.38]He was barely nineteen
[00:11.49]When he joined the Marines
[00:13.23]Just like his daddy did
[00:18.66]Glory bound and bullet proof
[00:22.33]Was that small town kid
[00:27.53]They shaved his head
[00:29.67]And shipped him out to somewhere-astan
[00:36.61]They gave him a gun
[00:38.70]Said get the job done
[00:41.00]That boy became a man
[00:44.97]THen for three long years
[00:47.71]He fought hard for Company C
[00:54.05]Till the day his wheels touched down
[00:58.48]In the land of the free
[01:02.70]When they come back
[01:07.31]They thank God their home
[01:12.13]Their older wiser
[01:14.85]Filled with more pride
[01:17.04]Than they've ever known
[01:21.20]Or their broken bitter
[01:24.08]Or struggling to get past their pain
[01:29.68]When they come back
[01:33.12]They don't come back the same
[01:39.99]He sat in his chair and stared out the window
[01:43.99]And thought about lost friends
[01:48.91]And what do you do when they tell you
[01:53.58]You'll never walk again
[01:57.33]He said I can't stay in this chair
[02:00.27]And pity myself for the rest of my life
[02:07.11]'Cause the one thing he learned while
[02:08.93]He was over there was how to fight
[02:15.41]So for four long years
[02:18.15]He studied hard and he prayed for grace
[02:24.69]And when he got that degree
[02:27.15]We saw that old smile come across his face
[02:33.40]When they come back
[02:37.91]We thank God their home
[02:42.71]Yeah their older wiser
[02:45.44]Filled with more peace than they've ever known
[02:51.79]Yeah their stronger
[02:53.42]Bitter and thankful to be past that pain
[03:00.32]When they come back
[03:03.65]They don't come back the same
[03:09.96]Oh no
[03:13.87]When they come back
[03:17.50]If they come back
[03:21.68]They don't come back the same
