Another Day In Paradise
Phil Collins
5:24I was starin' out the window of a 757 Delta jet Longing to see my family, wonderin' why we hadn't pushed back yet The Captain finally shared the news that everyone was hopin' not to hear "We're holdin' for some special VIP's. Right now we ain't goin' anywhere." I was grumblin' "Just my luck" bein' inconvenienced after a long day Who could be so special to waste our precious time for this delay? Then three young men in desert gear came boundin' down the ramp and through the door The Captain said "Please help me welcome these" "Our brave young heroes home from the war" Welcome Home! And thank you for a job bravely done Welcome Home! We honor you, America's finest sons Welcome home Most of us have carried on pursuing our routine Surrounded by the ones we love, living the American Dream You were called to risk it all and head into harm's way We are blessed to be the first of our grateful nation to say Welcome Home! And thank you for a job bravely done Welcome Home! We honor you, America's finest sons Welcome home We were getting settled in. The captain said "We're waitin for one more" I looked out on the pavement, saw a Color Guard open a limo door They straightened and saluted as a flag-covered coffin passes by All had served and sacrificed, and some had paid the highest price Welcome Home! And thank you for a job bravely done Welcome Home! We honor you, America's finest sons Welcome home
