Tales Of A Soldier Lyrics

Hey Ma

I don't think that i'll be coming home for long

Got some internal wars to fight alone

Hey Dad

Sounds of planes and bullets won't leave me alone

So I try to close my eyes and drown the noise

Hey God been a minute since the last time that we spoke

You know I ain't the best at keeping touch for long

Please tell Mom and Dad

I'm gonna miss them when I'm gone

Make sure they know they've never been at fault

So please Ma don't you cry

You know that I was born to die

I know you'll keep me in your prayers

And hope I make it home alive

Oh hey Dad rememberer that young boy

You once taught how to fight

He's scared to death and still regrets

His weakness makes you pay the price

Oh brothers I'm so sorry

I'm the one that made it home

I should be six feet under on my own

Hate that they're spending millions

Gearing me up for some war

But not a penny helping me come home

Lord knows there's no going back to normal anymore

Been three long tours so fighting is all I know

So sad these politicians don't know greed comes at a cost

Then wonder why the hell I feel so lost

So please ma don't you cry

You know that I was born to die

I know you'll keep me in your prayers

And hope I make it home alive

Oh hey Dad rememberer that young boy

You once taught how to fight

He's scared to death and still regrets

His weakness makes you pay the price
