Story Behind The Song
I wanted to write a song that would honor all of our servicemen and women who have sacrificed all or part of their lives in the service of their fellow American citizens. They do so much to protect our precious freedom. This is to acknowledge the sacrifices made by their families, as well. Thank you, all who have served.

Lyrics
Welcome Home, Soldier ©2009 David W. Folsom
Husband or Father,
Daughter or son
Sister or brother or wife
Your strength and your courage
Are second to none
For us, you've risked losing your life
Welcome Home, Soldier
Welcome Home, Friend
We cherish the freedom
You help to defend
Welcome Home, Soldier
You're not alone
Your Nation's behind you
Welcome back home
We'd like to thank you
For all that you've done
Defending the freedom we love
We pray for our soldiers
Who haven't come home
God, watch over them from above
Welcome Home, Soldier
Welcome Home, Friend
We cherish the freedom
You help to defend
Welcome Home, Soldier
You're not alone
Your Nation's behind you
Welcome back home
Your Family awaits you
With arms open wide
We honor the wounded
And those who have died
God bless the families
Of those who gave all
Thanks to our heroes
Who answered the call
Welcome Home, Soldier
Welcome Home, Friend
We cherish the freedom
You help to defend
Welcome Home, Soldier
You're not alone
Your Nation's behind you
Welcome back home
Welcome Home, Soldier
Welcome back home
