Homeward bound

I found out yesterday that the Advanced Party replacements have arrived in Helmand province afghanistan which means Brandon is coming home soon. I'm posting this video I found from a friend on facebook who's son is a marine with Brandon's company. It touched me deeply. The photographs and especially the song- which was song by the Mormon Tabernacle choir called Homeward Bound. Here are the lyrics:

In the quiet misty morning
When the moon has gone to bed,
When the sparrows stop their singing
And the sky is clear and red.
When the summer's ceased its gleaming
When the corn is past its prime,

When adventure's lost its meaning -
I'll be homeward bound in time.

Bind me not to the pasture.
Chain me not to the plow
Set me free to find my calling
And I'll return to you somehow

If you find it's me you're missing
If you're hoping I'll return,
To your thoughts I'll soon be listening,
In the road I'll stop and turn
Then the wind will set me racing

As my journey nears its end
And the path I'll be retracing
When I'm homeward bound again.

Bind me not to the pasture
Chain me not to the plow
Set me free to find my calling
And I'll return to you somehow

Bind me not to the pasture
Chain me not to the plow
Set me free to find my calling
And I'll return to you somehow
