If you all will indulge one more post about "Mansions of the Lord", here is the scoop, as best I know it.

The lyrics were written by Randall Wallace, the director and screenwriter for "We Were Soldiers" (he was also the screenwriter for "Braveheart" and "Pearl Harbor"). The music was written as part of the soundtrack for WWS by Nick Glennie-Smith.

It's wonderful to hear it on the WWS soundtrack, but I must say, if you want the full impact, rent WWS (warning: it's a graphic war movie along the lines of "Saving Private Ryan" - not for the young). As one not normally given to crying at movies, the scene where Mel Gibson's character returns home from Viet Nam got me going, and "Mansions of the Lord" over the end titles REALLY moved me.

A beautiful, majestic tribute to the fallen soldier who now lives in the presence of the Lord God Almighty.

>>Fox said it's called "Goin Home"

I've got that on a Sam Cooke CD. Goes like this---

Nothin lost, all's gain, No more fret nor pain, No more stumblin' on the way, No more longin' for the day, Goin' to roam no more! Mornin' star lights the way, Res'less dream all done; Shadows gone, break o' day, Real life's just begun.
