Tell me when to eat, tell me when to breathe
Tell me what to think and what to believe
Tell me when to cry, who to trust and why
And send me off to die, I'll sacrifice my life'Cause I'm ready and I'm waiting
To give my life for my country
I'm so sorry, mama, don't worry
Let's hope I'm fighting for my God's armyHold me as I pray, this is my last day
Before I go to sleep, freedom from decay
God I'd like to say, "Thank You for the eight years"
We'll spend in pain, I'll probably die in vain'Cause I'm ready and I'm waiting
To give my life for my country
I'm so sorry, mama, don't worry
Let's hope I'm fighting for our God's armyI really don't know why I'm fighting
I know there's got to be a reason
Our government would never send us
Without a causeSo I'm ready and I'm waiting
To give my life for my country
I'm so sorry, mama, don't worry
Let's hope I'm fighting for my God's army
