IS HE EVER COMING BACK?
(verse)
My brother wore a uniform that put him in harm's way
But young men like to laugh at death, he said he'd be okay
We were all so proud of him and how he lived his life
But I still wondered as I watched the TV news at night
(chorus)
Is he ever coming back?
Will I ever see his face?
I wrestle with this fear
Still I'm holding on to faith
But will that be enough?
Can someone answer that?
Is he ever coming back?
(verse)
Two kids sped by my house one night, they thought they'd hit a deer
Told the police they weren't drunk, just had a couple beers
But my little boy was in intensive care so close to death
And the few times I'd go home I'd cry and wonder on his bed
(repeat chorus)
(bridge)
My brother took a bullet and we lost him at the age of twenty-one
After two weeks in a coma we were told there was no chance for my son
Now I'm sitting here in church not understanding why the Lord lets evil win
And praying for the day when He'll decide it's time to be with us again
(chorus)
Is he ever coming back
Will I ever see his face?
I wrestle with this fear
Still I’m holding onto faith
And in my heart I trust
Even when the world looks black
That one day he'll come back
I believe He's coming back
