Coming home after a long, long walk
Coming home after a dozen of walks
Coming home after a long, long war
Coming home after a dozen of wars
(Soldiers march(walk), right? War couldn't be any more straight-forward)
We are out of wind
We have pock-marked chin
We have lots of water
We turn the other cheek and we win
(They are tired of fighting...many have had small-pox...they have water, but not the will to fight...they win in the eyes of whom?)
One thousand stories and there's always more
We've been offered one more lap to go
In my hand I hold a key
It's dear to me cause I know where it leads
(Everyone has their own war stories...this is their last call to duty in the military...
They hold a gun in their hands, which leads to 1 of 2 places...freedom or freedom by death)
We are out of wind
We have pock-marked chin
We have all this water
We turn the other cheek with a grin
(turns the cheek because they know freedom is on its way(death), and they are tired of fighting)
This song is obviously a soldier's perspective.
