Lyrics | Someone is Longing for Home, Sweet Home. Thousands of Miles Away Verse: Only a letter to home, sweet home, from someone far away, Only a boy across the foam, dreaming of yesterday, There’s a picture that comes to his mind, Of the someone he left behind. Refrain: Someone is longing for home, sweet home, thousands of miles away, But he’s proud to fight for a cause that is right, He’ll battle on till the end’s in sight and while he is sighing, he sees someone trying to smile through clouds of gray. Someone is longing for home, sweet home, thousands of miles away. Verse: Only an answer from home, sweet home, to someone o’er the sea, Telling a boy to keep right on, fighting for liberty, There’s a mother who’s proud of her son, And she’ll wait till the fight is won. Refrain |
