I was bEorn to be of service
Camp lejB5eune just felt like home
I had hF#5onor I found purpose
Sir yes sA5ir that's what I know
They sEent us to a place
I never hB5eard of weeks before
When your nF#5ineteen it ain't hard to sleep
In the desA5ert on gods floor
Close your F#5eyes stop counting sheep
You ain't in bA5oot camp any more
E5A5
We were tE5aught to shoot our rifles
Men and wB5omen side by side
Thought we'd be mF#5et as liberators
In a thA5ousand year old fight
I got this pE5ainful ringing in my ear
From an B5ied last night
But no lF#5ead lined humvee war machine
Could sA5ave my sergeants life
3 more sF#5oldiers 6 civilians
Need these wA5ords to come out right
GEod of mercy, gB9od of light
SF#mave your children frA9om this life
HEear these words
This hB9umble plea
For F#mI have seen the sA9uffering
And wEith this prayer I'm hBoping
That wF#me can be unbrAmoken
E5A5
It's 18 mE5onths now i've been stateside
With this mB5edal on my chest
But there are thF#5ings I can't remember
And there are thA5ings I won't forget
I lE5ie awake at night
With dreams the dB5evil shouldn't see
I want to scrF#5eam but I can't breathe
And christ I'm swA5eating through these sheets
Where's my brF#5others
Where's my country
Where's my hA5ow things used to be
GEod of mercy, gB9od of light
SF#mave your children frA9om this life
HEear these words
This hB9umble plea
For F#mI have seen the sA9uffering
And wEith this prayer I'm hBoping
That wF#me can be unbrAmoken
My sC#mervice dogs done more for me
Than the mA9edication would
There ain't no Eangel that's coming to save me
But Beven if they could
TodEay 22 will die from suicide
Just like yBesterday they're gone
I live my lF#mife for each tomorrow
So their mA9emories will live on
Once we were bEoys and we were strangers
Now we're brBothers and we're men
Someday you'll F#mask me was it worth it
To be of sA9ervice in the end
Well the blF#messing and the curse is yeah
I'd dA9o it all again
