Where I come from, you need to learn to fight
And follow in the footsteps, what your father thought was right
Marry the girl you met in school, get two kids and pick-up truck
That disappeared in the rear-view mirror the day they call ya up

Write me, send me, don’t forget to call
Whisper softly you’ll be there if I fall
Turn off the news, shut off the world, home is where you are safe
Reach me, teach me love is stronger than hate

Ended up a soldier in a foreign land
Two tours of Iraq and two in Afghanistan

Didn’t think I’d make it out, but your photo got me through
When I got back, you could see I’d cracked and I wasn’t the same to you

Hold me gently, take me in your arms
Whisper softly, “They’ll never do you harm.”
Turn off the news, shut off the world, home is where you are safe
Reach me, teach me love is stronger than hate

Lying here alone at night firing rockets from my bed
No one else can see them ’cause they’re only in my head
Sam Cooke’s singing my favourite song, “Try A Little Tenderness”
That sweet melody drifting by as I convalesce
Is that your hand clutching mine?
I just want your hand clutching mine

Oh, hold me gently, always let me know
Whisper softly you’ll never let me go
Turn off the news, shut off the world, before it’s all too late
Reach me, teach me love is stronger than hate
Love is stronger than hate
Love is stronger than hate
