NEW! Heather's brother is back in the USA!!!
The Martin family would like to thank all who voted for Heather's video in the YouTube Awards!
Also thank you for all of the prayers and kind remarks.
This song is not meant to make a political statement of any kind. It's simply about a family that is missing a brother. The young man who joined the army did so of his own free will. He was 20 years old and his parents played no part in his decision to serve his country. They are proud to have such a brave son.
I am only the best friend (for 34 years) of the mother, Cindy. It is my honor to post this video on YouTube. All of the wonderful messages that I have received are being forwarded to Heather and her mother.
Heather loves to sing. Since she was small she has always tried to get to the microphone first at church so she could sing. She always loved karaoke and would beg for the mic. She still loves singing more than just about anything.
Heather loves her brother and misses him. She has many memories of him. He comes home every chance he gets and will probably get to come home for a short time in February or March.
Before I truned on the camera Heather was really acting silly and laughing. What many of you have said looks like crying at the first is just Heather rubbing her eyes like any 6 year old might do.

6 year old Heather Martin sings a song that her mother wrote for her Brother Shaun who is serving in Iraq. The song is written from Heather's point of view.
Lyrics
When Are You Coming Home
copyright © 2006 Cindy D Martin
You were almost sixteen when I came into the world.
Mom and Dad had you first then 3 more boys I'm the baby girl.
I sure have a lot to look up to in you, you're really smart and funny with a big heart too.
After one year of college you knew what you had to do.
It's just like you wanting to help with the war.
So you joined the army when I was only 4.
This time of year we talk of big plans but you're over seas in some distant land.
You can't be here for Christmas, I don't understand.
Chorus:
When are you coming home, Shaun?
When are you coming home?!
We lit up the house like we always do but it doesn't seem bright 'cause we can't have you.
In my prayers I ask God to keep you safe.
And I'm trying to be really brave.
Tell me that the fighting's through.
Come home!
I really miss you.
It's hard to enjoy the holidays without you.
But we're so proud of you and all the red white and blue.
Remember that Jesus is your best friend,
And someday our families will be together again.
Wow! You know we'll have a great big party then.
Chorus
I want to show you how tall I've grown and introduce you to my new friends at school.
Maybe we could go and get some ice cream together but I really don't care what we do.
Chorus

Lyrics below.
Heather's voice is a little scratchy from allergies on this one but she was so cute that I had to upload it anyway.
Heather's mom is just overflowing with new songs!
Heather is 7 now and in the second grade. She still LOVES to sing.
We go to church every Sunday, We even go to Sunday School,
Sometimes I get to go when Mom & Dad teach Youth Group,
I didn't know anything different,
I thought everybody must be Methodist,
But one day I found out there's tons of other church services,
Some have a pool right behind the pulpit,
Some for communion use real wine,
Some have great big, beautiful, heavenly choirs,
Some have attendance of only 8 or 9,
Some have a preacher you could listen to all day,
Some have a preacher who puts you to sleep...,
But it doesn't really matter what you have or you have not
As long as it's, all about God!
There sure are lots of different kinds of people, who like variety THUS all the churches,
We all gotta find one, that has a method, For our own type of, unique madness!
Mom said she found it! It just happens to be Methodist,
She likes the Open hearts, minds, and doors policy,
'Cause God loves everybody!
(chorus)
(End): IT'S GOTTA BE, ALL ABOUT GOD!

6 year old Heather sings another song with her mom, Cindy. Comin' Home was written by Cindy and is dedicated to her oldest son, Shaun, and all our soldiers and their families.
They were able to perform it in person for Shaun when he came home on leave recently.
Comin' Home Copyright 2006 Cindy D. Martin
Lyrics:
He lays on the cot and looks at the ceiling of the tent he's called home for almost a year,
His bags are all packed and his uniform hangs sporting another rank on his sleeve, but he's ready to leave.
(chorus):
Church bells ringing, strike up the band,
The parade is comin' down the street,
Well, it might not be all that,
But in our dreams when you get back,
That's the way you're welcomed when we meet...
(You're comin' home)
Mom, you make your chocolate cake,
And Grandma we love those pies you bake,
We'll probably rent some movies and I'll get to stay up late,
Let's celebrate! Our soldier's comin' home!
She waits in the hanger for his plane with a baby in her arms, it hasn't been easy,
And a little boy stands beside his Grandpa who took him in, he can't wait to see Mom's face and to have her home safe.
(chorus)
Church bells ringing, strike up the band,
The parade is comin' down the street,
Well, it might not be all that,
But in our dreams when you get back,
That's the way you're welcomed when we meet...
(You're comin' home)
Mom, you make your chocolate cake,
And Grandma we love those pies you bake,
We'll probably rent some movies and I'll get to stay up late,
Let's celebrate! Our soldier's comin' home!
(Bridge)
We've been waiting so long for this day, keepin' the faith.
We can't thank you enough for all you've done for the U.S.A.!
(You're comin' home)
Mom, you make your chocolate cake,
And Grandma we love those pies you bake,
We'll probably rent some movies and I'll get to stay up late,
Let's celebrate! Our soldier's comin' home!

Lyrics
The town was bustling when they arrived in Bethlehem,
They managed to find a small place with a room to take them in,
Though the little child was tired she couldn't sleep that night,
It seemed like the window was pouring in an extra lot of light.
Suddenly she whispered 'Mama I hear a baby cryin',
In the stable we saw behind the inn, The stars are lit so bright, I'll be nice and quiet,
Could we please go look at Him?'
THE BABY'S CRYIN', DO YOU HEAR HIM?
OR ARE THERE JUST TOO MANY OTHER THINGS TO DO?
HE IS CALLING, WILL YOU ANSWER?
HE WAS BORN, TO DIE FOR YOU.
They'd been riding the van to Sunday School and church every week,
Guess their parents had their reasons why they didn't show,
The kids sat beside a teacher who might hold their hand,
And listen when they'd sing Jesus Loves Me this I know.
Silently they'd whisper, please dear Jesus, hear our prayer,
It'd be so nice if our whole fam'ly joined us here,
So if You will this Christmas, help Mom and Dad to trust,
In what You have waiting for us at the manger!
(chorus: 2 more times)
