lyrics

When I found out I had to go
I let the tears fall out upon my pillow
I dug a hole down, down in the dirt
I’ll dig these memories up when it don’t hurt so much

When the world is calling
Even though you want to stay
When the world is calling
There are dragons you must slay

So lace your boots up soldier and shine your smile
It’s goodbye to our faces but just for a little while
Your name will linger here like Grandfather’s legacy and
We’ll hang your photo up and then we’ll just keep busy

We’ll read your letters and we’ll, we’ll watch the news
But we can’t see inside your head and in your heart of blues
We’ll never see their faces, those coloured skies
Can’t see the pictures stored behind your weary soldier eyes

When the world is calling
When they send you away
When the world is calling
Taking all you know away…

…It’s goodbye
And they tell you do not cry
But when you come back home
The babies have all grown

I’ll tear these pages out - it’s my favourite book
Place them under my pillow, when I miss you I’ll have a look
I’ll dig these memories up but I can’t turn back time
Cannot relive the days when, the days when you were mine

When the world is calling
In the voices of Yahweh
When the world is calling
Asking if you will be brave
