Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence (Somewhere Far Away)

There's a hero's tale of a ship that sails
Under distant stars somewhere far away
And she's bound for glory on a foreign shore
But the hero's every boy who sailed off to war

Somewhere far away
There's a soldier boy who dreams a dream of home
Where a nightingale
Sings a promise to the ones who sleep alone
Spring is in the air
With scent of cherry blossom in the glen
Whispering a prayer
Saying bring our heroes safely home again

So the willows weep, and the candles burn,
For there is no sleep for the ones who yearn.
As I tell your story with a thankful heart
You are always in our thoughts though we're worlds apart

Somewhere far away
There's a soldier boy who dreams a dream of home
Where a nightingale
Sings a promise to the ones who sleep alone
Spring is in the air
With scent of cherry blossom in the glen
Whispering a prayer
Saying bring our heroes safely home again

Somewhere far away
There's a soldier boy who dreams a dream of home
Where a nightingale
Sings a promise to the ones who sleep alone
Spring is in the air
With scent of cherry blossom in the glen
Whispering a prayer
Saying bring our heroes safely home again
Home again, home again
