Heart at Home

A little boy from small town nowhere

Was sent to find his courage else where 

He left his heart at home as a promise to return

But how strong he needed to be he'd soon learn

He kissed his home good bye

Not a tear in his eye

Because he'd find the strength to come back home

Even if he came back alone

Beaten never broken

These words were heard spoken

Don't make a promise I can't keep.

For my heart you may keep

But yours may be gone. 

But make it I will 

And hope you also still

Will be there when I'm home
