Story Behind The Song
I was watching yet another story about wounded soldiers coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan and our government's shameful ineptitude at caring for these people. I was thinking that I hope they all have someone who loves them and will remain hopeful.

Lyrics
Now that youA¢A_ATre back home
We will go dancing again
WeA¢A_ATll close our eyes
And smile as the music begins
You will hold me close
IA¢A_ATll get lost in your arms
Just like when we met
IA¢A_ATll give in to your charms
Now that youA¢A_ATre back home
I can rest easy at last
The fears that kept me awake
Are all in the past
You will hold me close
IA¢A_ATll get lost in your arms
We will dance again
IA¢A_ATll give in to your charms
You may not be
How I remember you
But I prayed for this day
For so long
And now youA¢A_ATve returned
So different yet still the same
And I wonder
If IA¢A_ATll be as strong
