Lyrics-Harlan’s Coming Home

Harlan’s Coming Home (Forgive Us)

Chorus:
Harlan’s coming home, dear Lord,
in a flag draped casket the TVs won’t show.
Harlan’s coming home, dear Lord,
Forgive us, forgive us.

Don’t sit on your hands, don’t fall asleep;
The men in charge are making a mess of our country.
Turning upside down all right and wrong,
for the love of money, war and Kingdom Come

Chorus

I won’t be cheering when Fallujah falls
because I don’t understand why we’re there at all.
Now, I’m all for protecting our way of life
but I just don’t see good cause for good people dying.

Chorus

You don’t preach the peace unless you live the peace.
You don’t do the devil’s work in the name of freedom.
A bitten tongue eventually’ll get sore,
so I ain’t going to bite on my tongue no more.

Chorus

Harlan’s coming home,
Harlan’s coming home, dear Lord
Forgive us.
