My shoulder burn and bleed under the pounding of firing
Looking thru the scope to see them hiding
Movement again keep on firing, doesn’t it ever stop
Laying still in the marsh, life never more showing

I walk with my feet yet why does my heart ache
Is there a God that watches our heart as it dies
They call upon us so young and tender
Our Lord suffers more seeing us a doubting

The dead are shouting yet they do not awake
Can I ever forget the blood that I took?
My eyes tears flow with a searing pain
Who’s the host of this land, for I can’t see?

My soul is home where they banned me
Can I left a hand to clear my name
Why do they burn the flag I stand to protect?
Head bowed I bring a friend back, a flag on his chest

Wife in tears her son’s farther never seen
Can I do more, returning to invade again?
Numb I move thru the night, yet I bleed
Time they say will heal all, yet still I know the pain

Closed my heart and mind sheltering me from myself
Look into your mind can you see, river of blood yet flowing
The day draws near, veteran they call me
Yet they know not my name or my shame

Forgive them God, and let me rest
Give me freedom share with all
I carry his name in my heart, deeply scared
Lays my head down, can I just rest little more please
