First snow of the winter, cold New Brunswick day
Flight was out of Fredericton, three hour delay
Military plane, soldier coming home
His family there to meet him

We are tired
We are proud
We are sad
We are strong
We are going home

Boots were shined, faces stern
Respect in every way
Another country stands defended
What a price to pay
For many years it’s happened, a ritual intact
We can’t forget the price
Coming home

We are tired
We are proud
We are sad
We are strong
We are going home

We are tired
We are proud
We are sad
We are strong
We are going home

We are going home
