From the recording War Dog The Musical
Lyrics
My ears are up I hear the sound
foot steps beating on the ground
They call my name say Time to go
I don’t want to leave this is my home
Your leash still hangs by the back door frame
Like you’ll come running when I call your name
What if they teach you how to fight too fast?
What if this moment is our last?
Wait for me I’ll find my way back home
Through the smoke the dark unknown
I’ll follow scent I’ll follow sound
No war can tear me from this ground
Wait for me I’ll light the door
You’re the one we’re fighting for
Through every night through every fight
My love will guide you home by light
I’ll walk with pride I’ll guard the line
Think of you to steady my mind
This house still stands I’ll leave my mark
I’ll stay with you through the dark
They call you brave they call you strong
But you’re more than orders pulling you along
You’re muddy paws and sleepy eyes
Not a soldier in disguise
Help me find my way through fear
I’m right here
When the dark is loud
Follow my sound
If I fall will you know my name
I always will it won’t change
Through every storm
I’ll light the way
Wait for me the world may change
The road may bend but love remains
I’ll follow the light fight through the night
Wait for me I’m coming home
Goodbye Ranger don’t lose your way
I won’t I’m coming home someday
