SOMEDAY I'LL BE GOING HOME
(c) 2013/2026 Cee Cee James / Rob Slideboy Andrews
Someday I’ll Be Goin’ Home
Leavin’ this war behind
And all the Soldiers who lost their lives on the line
Fighting for our freedom
Such a heavy sacrifice
I’m gonna carry all their laughter
The hidden tears that they cried
I’m gonna carry their sweat, blood and fear
And the courage in their eyes
I’m gonna carry their pride until the day I die
     Someday I’ll Be Goin’ Home
     I’ll be leaving this war behind
     And I’m gonna carry all those Soldiers
     In my heart, my soul, and my mind
     So when you look in my eyes
     You will see their sacrifice
Someday I’ll be Goin’ Home
To my wonderful family
I’ll fall into their arms and their sweet warm love
I’m home... I’m finally home by the Grace of God
And every day that passes
I’ll sit and bow my head
For all the Soldiers who died fighting for our rights
Prayin’ for their families, their children
Such a heavy sacrifice
     Someday I’ll be goin’ home
     I’ll be leaving this war behind
     And I’m gonna carry all those Soldiers
     In my heart, my soul, and my mind
     So when you look in my eyes
     You will see their sacrifice
     Someday I’ll Be Goin’ Home
     I’ll be leaving this world all alone
     And when I walk through those pearly gates
     Don't you know all those Soldiers I'll embrace
     And I know our Lord will smile
     I know he’ll say well done
     And I know our Lord he's gonna smile,
     I know he’ll say well done
     And I know our Lord he's gonna smile, yes he is
     I know he’ll say well.... well done
Ou, hoo, well done
Ou, hoo, well done
He’s gonna smile and say well done, yes he is
Take you in his arms and say well done
Look you in your heart and say well done
Woo ouuu ouuu
Take you in his arms and say.... well... done

THE BACKSTORY
Cee Cee James - "Someday I'll Be Going Home"
A simple phone call in June 2011 from Vicky Mohler president and a co-founder of the not-for-profit organization Support America's Armed Forces, persuaded musician Cee Cee James and her husband Rhythm/Slide Guitar Player and writing partner, Rob "Slideboy" Andrews to get involved with Brian Crabb's music project.
Vicky Mohler is married to Dan Mohler, who was Cee Cee & Rob's Bass player. The couple established the organization with the goal of supporting active duty service members and veterans with regard to morale, health and welfare.
“Vicky told us about a compilation CD project entitled NEVER FORGOTTEN that would benefit the Vets and the Families that lost loved ones in the 911 Tragedy.  I immediately touched base with the producer of the project, Brian Crabb, and he invited us to write a song. It is such a good cause and makes us feel so proud and humbled at the same time to be a part of it.”
“We had a song that we had written for our upcoming CD BLOOD RED BLUES, entitled "Someday I'll be Goin' Home.  Rob suggested I change the lyric to fit the theme. I balked, but that night I tossed and turned and knew he was right.”
As she rewrote the lyrics for the project which "became bigger than just for the 911 Tragedy... encompassing all of the Fallen Heros throughout time... she felt as though she was being channeled by a Soldier who wanted to tell the world he was going home and how he felt.

“He was carrying all his fellow comrades in his heart, soul and mind, so that when you looked in his eyes, you would see their sacrifice. I wept the entire time I was writing it and for two hours afterward as I read the lyrics to Rob and worked it into the chord structure of the existing song.”
"War is one of the most intense representations of life in all its emotional forms - Heartbreak, death, fear, joy, ache, longing, physical pain, success, failure, full-filled dreams, shattered dreams, love, hate, power, emotional devastation.
Need I go on?” 
Cee Cee's second husband who passed from cancer, was a two-time veteran and he experienced firsthand the emotional devastation of trying to survive in a world that couldn't understand the immensity of what he had been through upon his re-entry into everyday life.

“Vets represent all forms of life.. homeless, wounded, jobless, depressed, paralyzed, hungry, lonely, scared, lost, mentally insane, ignored elders, the list is endless. Unfortunately, this demographic of our population is not going to end anytime soon, if ever; and in the coming years it's only going to get worse.”
“Being a part of this project was only the beginning for Rob and I as far as working to somehow be there for Vets and truly all people through our music.  We all suffer on some level and most times when the sun is shining and things seem ok, there are hidden levels of confusion, ache and longing for connection.  Music can be a POWERFUL tool to awaken us into compassion for ourselves and others."
