Lyrics:

                                                  
Homeless in the Home of the Brave

VS 1
It was a hot Independence Day
The whole town had turned out to watch the parade
Families and friends celebrating all the reasons we are free
That’s when I saw him, his sign read: Homeless Vet will you please help me

Chorus
Maybe in Afghanistan, in Iraq or Vietnam he fought even though he was afraid
But his hero’s heart began to doubt when he couldn’t block those mem’ries out
Of all the ones he just couldn’t save
He’s the reason we’re free today, but he’s homeless in the home of the brave

VS 2
We stood up as the flag went by
He stood at attention as tears filled his eyes
Kept thinking of him and my freedom as I headed on back home
He’d spend the night out on the street, scenes from his past still haunting his soul

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
In the greatest nation on this planet
Sometimes we take our freedom for granted

Chorus (First and last line)
