[Verse 1]
What's this music in the air ?
What's this cheering ev'rywhere?
Hearts are wildly beating
For that joyful meeting
Someone's coming home again-
Hear that martial strain!
[Refrain]
There's a tramp, tramp, tramp upon the highway
There's the sound of music drawing near;
There's a vacant chair that's waiting there
For the one that we love so dear;
There's a song that ev'rybody's singing
As the boys come sailing o'er the foam
Peace on earth at last, the dark night past
That's the song that will lead them Home
[Verse 2]
Who's that marching o'er the hill?
Why do hearts begin to thrill?
Through the dark clouds shining
There's a silver lining:
Dreams at last are coming true
Dreams for me and you
[Refrain]
There's a tramp, tramp, tramp upon the highway
There's the sound of music drawing near;
There's a vacant chair that's waiting there
For the one that we love so dear;
There's a song that ev'rybody's singing
As the boys come sailing o'er the foam
Peace on earth at last, the dark night past
That's the song that will lead them Home
