original text at lyrnow.com/1993119
Gather round ma's knees
To read this weeks letter
I wonder what will be
We hope the news is better

La la, la la la
La la la la la, lala

The men here died like flies ma
I bandaged their blinded eyes ma
And the kids with their aching feet
Ain't got nothing to eat ma

The hospital has no door dad
The soldiers lie on the floor dad
I did my best
But I can't take anymore dad

Rachel's coming home
Rachel's coming home
And I don't think she'll go away again

Rachel's seen the light
The world's too big to fight
And I don't think she'll go away again
My dear family
The world and the people in it
Will go the way they can
And there's not a man, black or white
Who can ever hope to stop them

Rachel's coming home
Rachel's coming home
And I don't think she'll go away again

Rachel's seen the light
The world's too big to fight
And I don't think she'll go away again

Chorus/Outro
Rachel's coming home
Rachel's coming home
And I don't think she'll go away again

Rachel's seen the light
The world's too big to fight
And I don't think she'll go away again
