Lyrics

THIS IS WAR

© 2007 Steven P. Richards

INTRO:
BRING OUR SOLDIERS HOME
BRING OUR SOLDIERS HOME

SOLDIERS WALKING THRU THE NIGHT
DISTANT SHOTS, THEY HEAR THE FIGHT
SOME ARE BOYS, SOME ARE MEN
SOME WILL NEVER COME BACK AGAIN

FRIENDLIES FLYING OVERHEAD
LAYING DOWN A WALL OF LEAD
CANNONS TEARING UP THE GROUND
SLICING THROUGH THE BATTLE SOUNDS

CHORUS:
DO YOU RECOGNIZE
THIS IS WAR, AND THESE ARE LIVES
DO YOU COMPREHEND
WE ARE THE ONES, THAT CAN MAKE IT END

THE RADIO CRACKS AND CRIES
A CALL FOR FIRE LIGHTS THE SKY
THE SEPTIC SMELL OF STEEL AND DEATH
PENETRATE THE SERGEANT?S BREATH

THE MEDIC CRIES AND SCREAMS ALOUD
HE POUNDS HIS FISTS INTO THE GROUND
ANOTHER TAG BENEATH THE TONGUE
ANOTHER WAR THAT?S NEVER WON

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE:
BRING, BRING OUR SOLDIERS HOME
BRING, BRING OUR SOLDIERS HOME

STACCATO KNOCK UPON THE DOOR
A BABY?S SPOON HITS THE FLOOR
A MEDALLED CHEST TO EASE THE PAIN
FROM STINGING WORDS THAT CAN?T EXPLAIN


INSTANTLY, HER WORLD GOES BLACK
SHE NEVER THOUGHT HE WON?T COME BACK
ANOTHER CHILD THAT?S NEVER KNOWN
ANOTHER ANGEL COMING HOME

REPEAT CHORUS

OUTRO:
BRING, BRING OUR SOLDIERS HOME
BRING, BRING OUR SOLDIERS HOME

BRING, BRING OUR SOLDIERS HOME
BRING, BRING OUR SOLDIERS HOME
