Lyric When Johnny Comes Marching Home
Take a look out to the east, where the sun will rise
And think of all the possibility it brings
And it s that which makes it seem a hope that life dead lies
With its rationale that enslaves kings
But now i can t escape the fact that it feel wrong to me
And though the sun shines all the same i still feel lost
Because illumination doesn t mean you get to see what matters
Sometimes you buy the fear and know the cost
Sometimes you have to buy the fear to know the cost
And when i come marching home
When i come marching home
When johnny comes marching home again to you
I swear it ll be the last time
I close my eyes and i can see a thousand scenes of happy ending
But i m relieved to wake up to the darkest sky
The night feels clear, the course unchanged
And a lonely wind gives call
The darkest sky allows the brightest stars to steer your own ship by
But now i can t escape the fact those dreams feel real to me
And though before i ve laid my siege and faced attack
In the end, i must admit, i m just the least bit terrified
For the first time i look for home and i think of starting back
For the first time, i think of starting back
The heart that beats
Is a heart that grows
And through torrid gale
I hold it wheel, because i know
Where you are
Is where i ll be
But it s who you are
That already gives comfort to me
And should the dawn ever decide to set me free
Perhaps in a new way by the light of day
I could learn to face the sunrise
But that still remains for you and i to see
Cause now i m able to escape that i m alone in this
And though before i ve always taken it that way
And though i m not used to the exercise
I can offer you my hand
I might even learn to love the light of day
I might even learn to love the light of day
And when i come marching home
When i come marching home
When johnny comes marching home again to you
I swear it ll be the last time
Because this time i want to stay
I won t ever want to go away
And when i come marching home again to you
I swear it ll be the last time
And think of all the possibility it brings
And it s that which makes it seem a hope that life dead lies
With its rationale that enslaves kings
But now i can t escape the fact that it feel wrong to me
And though the sun shines all the same i still feel lost
Because illumination doesn t mean you get to see what matters
Sometimes you buy the fear and know the cost
Sometimes you have to buy the fear to know the cost
And when i come marching home
When i come marching home
When johnny comes marching home again to you
I swear it ll be the last time
I close my eyes and i can see a thousand scenes of happy ending
But i m relieved to wake up to the darkest sky
The night feels clear, the course unchanged
And a lonely wind gives call
The darkest sky allows the brightest stars to steer your own ship by
But now i can t escape the fact those dreams feel real to me
And though before i ve laid my siege and faced attack
In the end, i must admit, i m just the least bit terrified
For the first time i look for home and i think of starting back
For the first time, i think of starting back
The heart that beats
Is a heart that grows
And through torrid gale
I hold it wheel, because i know

But it s who you are

I won t ever want to go away
And when i come marching home again to you
I swear it ll be the last time
