歌词
You joined the army 18 years ago,

You've been to Bosnia, Croatia, and Kosovo.
足迹遍布波斯尼亚、克罗地亚和科沃索，
And other places, I'd sooner not go,

But so far you'd always come home.
只记得你总惦记着回家。
Your family by now you are not to ask why
家人从未问过你原因，
They all acted brave as you kissed them goodbye
他们表现出坚强的样子和你亲吻道别，
And they waved as the plane disappeared in the sky
飞机消失在云端之时，他们向你挥手
And said 'come home, Ricky, come home"

The leaves will be turning,

You knew whatever they call

On a Kandahar road.
在坎大哈的某条街道上。
They came out of the blue,
你还未反应过来，
And before you could know it,

It was raining hot metal,
外面已是枪林弹雨。
And things that explode,
紧接着一场爆炸，
And this time there was no going home.

On the bridges they stood,

And watched you go by.
目送你“走”过。
A Canadian flag was waving nearby,
旁边的枫叶旗正迎风飘扬，
And more than a few had a tear in their eye,
泪水早已盈满他们的眼眶。
As they watched you going home.
终于看着里奇回家了。
They flew your body, back to St. Johns

Back to where you began,
那个你生命开始的地方，
Back to where you belong.

And the weary heart broke ,

In the corridors of power,
长官们
They were looking for blame.

But that wasn't your star,
