Heather Martin - When Are You Coming Home

You were almost sixteen when I came into the world.
Mom and Dad had you first then 3 more boys I'm the baby girl.
I sure have a lot to look up to in you, you're really smart and funny with a big heart too.
After one year of college you knew what you had to do.
It's just like you wanting to help with the war.
So you joined the army when I was only 4.
This time of year we talk of big plans but you're over seas in some distant land.
You can't be here for Christmas, I don't understand.
Chorus:
When are you coming home, Shaun?
When are you coming home?!
We lit up the house like we always do but it doesn't seem bright 'cause we can't have you.
In my prayers I ask God to keep you safe.
And I'm trying to be really brave.
Tell me that the fighting's through.
Come home!
I really miss you.

It's hard to enjoy the holidays without you.
But we're so proud of you and all the red white and blue.
Remember that Jesus is your best friend,
And someday our families will be together again.
Wow! You know we'll have a great big party then.

Chorus

I want to show you how tall I've grown and introduce you to my new friends at school.
Maybe we could go and get some ice cream together but I really don't care what we do.

Chorus

"6 year old Heather Martin sings a song that her mother wrote for her Brother Shaun who is serving in Iraq. The song is written from Heather's point of view."

It's so pitiful tt's why we love the lyrics and her so much huh?

But look at the comments for this video. It's pathetic that people are fighting over the simple existence of love. They fight over faith and religion, and they fail to realise that love's always the winner. It doesn't matter where you come from and who you stand up for just because you are a citizen. Sometimes, messages are meant to be kept simple until one day, now, people have disputes because of the colour of your skin or because of the fact that the world is now a liberal 'haven' or because of God-knows-what.

She's just a kid. And those disturbing comments have made me become aware of the video! I start to notice and think who and what she is trying to speak to b4 she sings, her expressions and her gestures...whether it is all fakery or not. Her mom even taught her to sing with actions for the other performances. YES, and her mom plans to sell the song. We don't want her crocodile tears.

Youtube owners should put a stop to the posting of comments. It's getting carried away. Too far. Too much. This is entertainment, and im very sure everyone's getting 5 min of fame now, but this ain't turning out well. Not at all. The effects are killing morals.

love, cy
