Song Description

A song from an injured soldiers perspective, wondering if it was worth the price.

Lyrics

My eyes begin to dim
As I look down at my chest
The blood soaked shirt I wear
Shows I failed to pass the test
How could this have happened
How could I have been so wrong
The mission we were given
was supposed to end with no one harmed

I'm still wondering
Was it worth this price I've paid
Will the phone call show my family
This sacrifice was not in vain

At least my men all made it
I must have trained them right
My RTO is on the mic
Calling in an evac flight
I hear my medic telling me
Don't worry, you'll be just fine
But I can see that he's not telling me
What's really going through his mind

And I know I should be crying
Because this time I know it?s real
All I can think of is my family
How can I stop this hurt they?ll feel

I'm still wondering
Was it worth this price I've paid
Will the phone call show my family
This price I paid was not in vain

As I look towards the heavens
And I see the moon so bright
I pray to God this wasn't wrong
That what I did was right
Please take care of my family
Help to make them understand
Let them know that it was worth it
This ultimate price, my sacrifice
