Here I am
|
In the desert again
|
A compass and a weapon
|
A lost American
|
I started out with a simple plan
|
And a locket in my hand
|
But the sun so unforgiving
|
And the wind so hard to stand
|
|
Fall out, fall out
|
With the rest of your brothers
|
With the rest of your sisters
|
Heroes on the line
|
Carry out what your leader says
|
For what his leader says
|
Is that his leader says
|
This is right for the people
|
|
No one will ever understand why
|
Thousands of beautiful, healthy,
|
Young statues must fall
|
Smoke and explosions surround me
|
A flood of hate, it drowns me
|
I cannot live this way
|
No I cannot live
|
|
Doubt and confusion
|
They find me
|
They run up right behind me
|
I cannot die this way
|
No, I cannot die this way
|
|
In the water, in the sand
|
Is the blood of a culture
|
Is the blood of an ancient people
|
In whose holy war I stand
|
I hear the world like a cannon roar
|
Say I can't win this war
|
I promise them this is
|
Not what I signed up for
|
|
No one will ever understand why
|
Thousands of beautiful, healthy,
|
Young statues must fall
|
Smoke and explosions surround me
|
A flood of hate, it drowns me
|
I cannot live this way
|
No, I cannot live
|
|
Doubt and confusion
|
They find me
|
They run up right behind me
|
I cannot die this way
|
No, I cannot die this way
|
|
No one will ever understand why
|
Thousands of beautiful, healthy,
|
Young soldiers must fall
|
|
Smoke and explosions surround me
|
A flood of hate, it drowns me
|
I cannot live this way
|
I cannot live
|
With your doubt and confusion
|
They find me
|
They run up right behind me
|
I cannot die this way
|
No, I will not die this way
|
