Lyrics

HE FINALLY GOT TO SAY GOODBYE
(Jeff Steinfeldt, Jim Chiello)

Messed up by shrapnel in his chest and in his mind
The pain would not compare
To what he felt when he came home to find
No one there

(Chorus)
He gave up his life in 1969
His country turned away
For thirty years he struggled in the shell that was left behind
He Finally Got To Say Goodbye today

He found some comfort alone in the bars
That strangers call home
He slept in shelters, doorways and old cars
With everything he owned

(Repeat Chorus)

(Bridge)
Maybe you saw him as the evening light dimmed
Maybe you prayed for him that day
Maybe he came to, and in the stillness he knew
There was nothin' left to lose anyway

(Repeat Chorus)

May he find some peace today
