Merry Christmas Mr.Lawrence (Somewhere Far Away)

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 the 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
And Spring is in the air with the scent of cherry blossom in the glen
Whispering a prayer, saying bring our heroes safely home again

Where are you? Somewhere far away

Whispering a prayer, saying bring our heroes safely home again
Home again
Home again
