[Chorus]
When you come home, I'll stop this
When you come home, I'll hide it good
I'll never cry again
When you come home, to me
[Verse 1: Fattay]
Eric Levi Ward a respectable marine
Joined his dad, as the 4th in his family
I remember as a kid man this was your dream
And you died doin something you love, that's the thing, bro
You me and Thomas playin games all night
A 24 case of coke and Counter-Strike
I remember your commercial and your beautiful smile
I just wish you had the chance to stick around a lil while
In 7th grade, I played football for the first time
Everyday I wanted to quit and yeah I'd cry but
You being you convinced me to stick it out
So I can say that I'm no quitter, thank you for that now
The cross around my neck reminds me that you're still here
And the bracelet around my wrist ensures that you stay near
So I'm sorry that we never took that roadtrip that you wanted
But everywhere I go you, you are always with me bro
Man I miss you...
[Chorus]
When you come home, I'll stop this
When you come home, I'll hide it good
I'll never cry again
When you come home, to me
[Verse 2: Leigh Solemn)
Put that bracelet on my right so you my right hand man
Fightin in Afghanistan and you were heightened man, yeah
Eric Levi Ward we should be shooting basketball
Or playing ding-dong-ditch doin pranks we did it all
I was taught and raised if you got a problem solve it
No matter what I do you ain't comin back and when I fought it
It was driving me crazy, no chance for a call
We can't finish that convo on my Facebook wall
So many things unsaid, another ring un-wed
An angel came to earth but with an angel comes d**h
And we can mourn your d**h or we can celebrate your life
So everybody raise your gla**es take a shot for Ward tonight
Back when you and I had our first beer in 7th grade
And when you and I would go to all the football games
Its not time to say goodbye cause I know it won't be long
We won't forget you, we miss you, I'll see you when I'm home
And just know that...
[Bridge]
I saw you, again I knew just where you'd be
I'll stop this, real soon when you're back safe with me
[Chorus]
When you come home, I'll stop this
When you come home, I'll hide it good
I'll never cry again
When you come home, to me
