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
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
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
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 (I'll be your soldier)
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
