a million miles away from home (©2006 Bob Stewart) Today we stop to say goodbye to the children who fought and died Far too young, and too alone a million miles away from home Lovers cry out in the night searching for that saving light It's far too dark and too alone a million miles away from home Brothers and sisters kneel and pray; wait on for that judgment day You feel so empty and so alone a million miles away from home A mother's waiting by the phone, she prays sweet Jesus will you lift this stone Can't bear a broken heart alone a million miles away from home Flags are flying, they gently wave; soldiers fight on, must be brave Far too young and too alone a million miles away from home This mountain's high, the valley's deep; the way is hard, and this journey's steep Sons and daughters must walk alone a million miles away from home Today we stopped to say goodbye to our children who fought and died Far too young and too alone a million miles away from home
