Vs. 1
  I see you never new stripes
  You’re looking might strong
  And I've remember back on simpler days
  We were jumping in the pond
  And I was having trouble swimming 
  Back to higher ground
  You rescued me without a thought
  Now I’m safe and sound

 [bad word] 1
  Sail away soldier
  Never forget
  The stories I told you
  On the swing set
  We were just kids then
  So many hours ago
  So sail away soldier
  Just find your way home

Vs. 2
  I fought you back in grade school 
  For the cutest girl in town
  She’s standing by your side now
  And she’s right where she belongs
  I recall our wilder days
  When we would scale the hardest climb
  You’ll always be the fearless leader
  In my eyes

 [bad word] 
  Sail away soldier
  Never forget
  I’m always behind you
  I follow your steps
  We’re all so amazed by
  The courage you’ve shown
  So sail away soldier
  Find your way 

Bridge
  Home is where 
  Your heart will stay
  With friends and family
  Holding on
  All our prayers 
  We send your way
  Even now, 
  As you’re sailing on

 [bad word] 3
  Sail away soldier
  There’s no easy goodbye 
  Just think of the sun, it’s
  The same on our side
  When the night falls, just
  Look to the stars
  We’re under the same sky
  And God’s never far
