Lyrics
I'm so_ sorry...about the change in our_ plans.
Since I've been de_ployed...now it's in God's_ hands.
Let me wipe those_ tears...from your pretty brown eyes_;
And give me a long, long_ kiss...and a hug goodbye_.
Please_ baby...I hope you don't ask_ why?
I'm over here...giving it my best_ try.
Fighting for freedom...and the promised_ land;
Searching for answers...to questions...I don't Under_stand.
(I...have to go).....there's sweat...running in my eyes__.
You know I_ love you...and I don't want to_ cry....In this I_raqi...sand.....
There's fighting and killing...going on over_ here;
But being away from you...that's my only_ fear.
So keep hoping for a miracle...and let us...pray for_ peace;
Cuz I want out of this mess...here in the Middle_ East.
Please_ baby...I hope you don't ask_ why?
I'm over here...giving it my best_ try.
Fighting for freedom...and the promised_ land;
Searching for answers...to questions....I don't Under_stand.
(I...have to go).....there's sweat...running in my eyes__.
You know I_ love you...and I don't want to_ cry...In this I_raqi...sand...
Some people are saying....that we have finally_ won;
So I'll be coming home...to you and our new_ son.
The children are out playing...and it's a beautiful_ morning...
(Then...as a car stopped...it.....exploded!!)....There was no Warning__!!!
Oh__ Please__ baby....I hope you don't ask__ why?
I'm still over here...and I...gave it my best_ try.
Fighting for freedom...and the promised_ land;
Searching for answers...to questions...I'll never Under__stand!
(I...have to go....cuz)...there's blood......running in my eyes____.
You know I__ love you..and I don't want to__ die...In this I_raqi...sand...
In this I_raqi...sand.....Oh Lord....I don't want to__...Die___________.
.....In this I_raqi......In this I_raqi.......In this I_raqi____......sand.....
