day and night
you stay and fight
you say you’re gonna leave here
you say you’re gonna leave tonight
for your king
and for your country
you’re fighting for their freedom
you fight until you die tonight
and forward they open up
and forward they march away
I can’t just sit and explain
and not feel the same today
and someday they’ll understand
that you were a family man
tell all your children who cried
that it was for them you died
years go by
don’t you cry
you know you’re gonna leave here
you know you’re gonna leave someday
you took the pain
drove you insane
and then one day you’re leaving
and then one day you’re in the clouds
and so much they had to say
and so much they took away
I can’t just sit and complain
and not feel ashamed today
and forward they sent you off
and forward you walked away
I can’t just sit and explain
and not feel the same tonight
