Welcome Home (Finale) Lyrics by Richard Oberacker

Bandstand (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2017

[JULIA]
Johnny made it home, most of him at least
Had three operations but the pain has not decreased
Nick learned to survive, means you never trust
Once you see the worst in man, then how do you adjust?
Davy cracks a joke, claims to be alright
Drinks a fifth of vodka in his kitchen every night

And I stand here trying
Like mother Mary
With my private burden of grief to carry

Welcome home my boys
Welcome home my sons
Welcome home my husband
Welcome home my love

Welcome home
Welcome home
Welcome home

Wayne is never free, schedules out his day
Filling every minute just to keep the ghosts away
He could never get back the life he had
Faced with raising kids who did not recognize their dad
Jimmy made it back to town four months ago
Lives to tell the things no one could bear to know
Keeps his guard up now a lot goes undiscussed
Focuses on fighting what he finds unjust

Welcome home my boys
Welcome home my sons
Welcome home my husband
Welcome home my love

Welcome home
Welcome home
Welcome home

Donny does his best, trying to pretend
What he doesn't talk about won't matter in the end
Donny made it home but thinks it wasn't fair
How he made it out but left his buddy there
Donny doesn't sleep because the nightmares come
Donny wants an answer, Donny looks for absolution
And I'd give up anything if I could give him some

And I stand here helpless
With my arms extended
Knowing full well, darling, your war's not ended

Welcome home
Welcome home my husband
Welcome home my love
Welcome home
Welcome home
Welcome home my boys
Welcome home my sons
Welcome home my husband
Welcome home my love
Welcome home
Welcome home
Welcome home
