There's a hero's tale of a ship that sails

Under distant stars somewhere far away

And she's bound for? glory on a foreign shore

But the hero's every boy who sailed off to war

Somewhere far away there's a soldier boy who dreams a dream of home

Where a nightingale sings a promise to the ones who sleep alone

Spring is in the air with scent of cherry blossom in the glen

Whispering a prayer saying bring our heroes safely home again

So the willows weep and the candles burn

For there is no sleep for the ones who yearn

As I tell your story with a thankful heart

You are always in our thoughts though we're worlds apart

Somewhere far away there's a soldier boy who dreams a dream of home

Where a nightingale sings a promise to the ones who sleep alone

Spring is in the air with scent of cherry blossom in the glen

Whispering a prayer saying bring our heroes safely home again

Where are you

Somwhere far away

We miss you more with each new day

Somewhere far away there's a soldier boy who dreams a dream of home

Where a nightingale sings a promise to the ones who sleep alone

Spring is in the air with scent of cherry blossom in the glen

Whispering a prayer saying bring our heroes safely home again
