What's this song about?

1
Patiently she stares down the runway
2
Today's the day that he is coming home
3
Seems like he's been gone a lifetime
4
And a lifetime is a long time to be gone
5
But there are songs that need singing
6
And there are things that must be done
7
There are thoughts that still need thinking
8
And there are wars that must be won
9
He was just a boy when they sent for him
10
And overnight turned him into a man
11
Proudly he had served his country
12
In a war he didn't seem to understand
13
The flag still waves, his war is over
14
He'll never have to kill again
15
And as she waits, she thinks it over
16
Is winning worth the price we pay to win?
17
Her thoughts keep wandering to his childhood
18
When all his hand grenades were merely toys
19
And 'War' was just a game that he was playing
20
With plastic guns like other little boys
21
And everyday when play was over
22
He'd put his little toys away
23
And she'd be standing, waiting for him
24
The way she's waiting here today
25
As the plane stops, she starts thinking
26
Will he still look the way he did before?
27
Or will his eyes reflect the pain of killing
28
Like most young men, when they come home from war?
29
These last few minutes seems like hours
30
She tries her best not to cry
31
But there's that hearse, filled up with flowers
32
Did he really have to die?
33
No, no, no, no
34
No, no, no, no, no
35
No, no, no
36
No, no
37
No, no
38
No, no, no
39
No
40
No, no, no
41
No
42
No, no, no, no, no
