Gun shots, cries of pain
Yet I live, to see another day
My friends fall, they all fall before me
I will avenge them, just you wait and see
The things I’ve seen, will haunt me all my days
And I remember the screams, every time it rains.
During the night, I live it all
Why wasn’t I taken, Instead of all of them.
(chorus)
War and fighting, what do they solve
They cause more problems, than they do resolve
But it’s my life, and it’s all I know
So pray for my soul, just before I go
Daddy why you going back, please don’t go again
What if you never come back I won’t see you again
I promise you my daughter, I’ll come back for you
I swear to you that I'm one thing you’ll never lose
Do you promise daddy, do you really promise,
Yes my darling little girl, I really truly promise,
So give me hugs n kisses, for daddy walks out the door
I’m off to fight in a country, I’ve never heard of before
(Chorus)
Now I’m lying in a hospital bed, half my body’s gone
I should have jumped away from the bomb, right before it blown
I’m only barely alive, the only thing keeping me in this world
Is the promise I made, made to my baby girl
So I get flown back, back to my home
Even thought in my body, I have more metal than bone
She sees me arrive, and runs out and sees
Tears fill her eyes, as she runs to greet me.
You kept your promise daddy you came back to me.
