Prisoner Of War

I respect what you can do

But I'd say the same about a gun

Depends which side of you they see

Some feel safe and some will run



There's so much fight you keep in store

Though in all of life, you've won your wars

And still you let yourself forget

As if it's thirty years before



Prisoner of war, prisoner of war

Though you're not held on foreign soil anymore

Bring 'em home, Jack, bring 'em home, Jack

Bring home both the mighty soldier and the boy



Something you just can't believe

The many strengths you could receive

If you could just call down your guard

Just let those forces leave



Prisoner of war, prisoner of war

Though you're not held on foreign soil anymore

Bring 'em home, Jack, bring 'em home, Jack

Bring home both the mighty soldier and the boy



And you're so strong, and that's your crutch

To keep alone and out of touch

To try to keep your heart from line of fire



So it's still trapped inside that war

Like there's a soldier at the door

It's time you told that soldier to retire

And bring 'em home



Prisoner of war, prisoner of war

Though you're not held on foreign soil anymore

Bring 'em home, Jack, bring 'em home, Jack

Bring home both the mighty soldier and the boy
