    Verse 1
    Patiently 
    she stares 
    down 
    the runway, 


    Today's 
    the 
    day 
    that 
    he 

    is 
    coming 
    home. 

    Seems 
    like 
    he's 
    been 
    gone 
    a life 
    time 

    And a 
    life 
    time 
    is 
    a long 
    time 

    to be gone. 

    But there 
    are songs 
    that need 
    singing, 

    And 
    there 
    are things 

    that must 
    be done. 

    There 
    are thoughts 
    that still 

    need 
    thinking, 

    And there 
    are wars 
    that must 
    be 
    won. 

    Verse 2
    He 
    was just 
    a boy 
    when 
    they 
    sent 
    for 
    him 

    And 
    overnight 
    turned 
    him 
    into 
    a 
    man. 

    Proudly 
    he 
    had 
    served 
    his country 

    In 
    a war 
    he didn't 
    seem 
    to 

    understand. 

    The flag 
    still 
    waves, 
    his 
    war 
    is over, 

    He'll 
    never 
    have 
    to kill 
    again. 

    And as 
    she waits, 
    she thinks 
    it 
    over, 

    Is winning 
    worth 
    the prize 
    we pay 
    to win? 

    Verse 3
    Her 
    thoughts 
    keep 
    wandering 

    to 
    his 
    childhood, 

    When 
    all 
    his 
    hand grenades 

    were merely 
    toys. 

    And "war" 
    was 
    just 
    a game 

    that 
    he was 
    playing 

    With 
    plastic 
    guns 
    like 
    other 

    little 
    boys. 

    And ev'ry 
    day 
    when play 
    was 
    over, 

    He'd 
    put 
    his 
    little 
    toys 
    away. 

    And 
    she'd 
    be standing, 

    waiting 
    for 
    him, 

    The way 
    she's 
    waiting 
    here 
    today. 

    Verse 4

    As 
    the plane 
    stops 
    she starts 
    thinking, 

    Will 
    he 
    still 
    look 
    the 
    way 
    he 
    did 
    before? 

    Or will 
    his eyes 
    reflect 
    the 
    pain 
    of 
    killing, 

    Like 
    most 
    young 
    men 
    when they 

    come 
    home 
    from 
    war? 

    These last 
    few 
    minutes 
    seem 
    like 
    hours, 

    She 
    tries 
    her best 
    not 
    to cry. 

    But there's 
    that 
    hearse 

    filled 
    up with 
    flowers, 

    Did 
    he 
    really 
    have 
    to die? 

    Verse 5
    No, 
    no, no, 
    no, 

    No, 
    no, 
    no, 
    no, 
    no, 

    No, 
    no, no, 

    No, 
    no, 

    No, 
    no, 

    No, 
    no, 
    no, 

    No, 

    No, no, no, 

    No, 

    No, 
    no, 
    no, 
    no, 
    no.

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
