We started in October

Drowned our sins in cold November rain

Fought all through December

Prayed for snow to cover up the pain

Been so long under winter's night

Waiting for the sun

Watching the horizon

Everybody's coming home for summer

Battlefields a thousand miles away

What a feeling, taste the freedom

There with every bite

Finally we're coming home

We shadow-boxed the enemy

Swing until we extradite our fears

They're backed into a corner

Ring the bell, we shed our blood and tears

Like hibernating stow-aways, hoping for the sun

Watching the horizon

Everybody's coming home for summer

Battlefields a thousand miles away

What a feeling, taste the freedom

There with every bite

Finally we're coming home

Oh, we suffered in silence

Through storms and through violence

We've stayed our way

The waves have sub-sided

The clouds have divided

Found a reason to survive

Found the will to stay alive

That will be the last thing that we do

Heading for summer

Back home for summer

Everybody's coming home for summer (everybody)

Battlefields a thousand miles away

What a feeling (what a feeling)

Taste the freedom (freedom)

There with every bite

Finally we're coming home

Oh, we're coming home

Oh, I'm coming home
