Description

Lyrics

He served his country proudly with three tours in the Corp Came home from Afghanistan to a stranger at the door He knew she couldn’t cope alone and just needed another shoulder Now she sends him pictures of his children getting older He knows he is the lucky one and bares the bitter pain Some who fought beside him didn’t make it to explain They would wonder if it mattered cause in reality it seems Flags were draped on caskets of ended hopes and dreams He knows it’s been an honor, to fight among the best For the people of his home, the free and brave But every day remains a test, just to find a place to rest. And after all the fanfare and parades Let us not forget the sacrifice he’s made. Now he struggles just to find a job, no one will take him in His mother and a few dear friends still say they’re proud of him But pride is a perspective and that remains mis- understood Lord help this broken soldier who did the best he could The medals they pinned on his chest don't mean so much these days Too old to fight too young to die and too set in his ways He did all he knew how to do for the sake of greater good Lord help this broken soldier who did the best he could He knows it’s been an honor, to fight among the best For the people of his home, the free and brave But every day remains a test, just to find a place to rest. And after all the fanfare and parades Let us not forget the sacrifice he’s made.
