Lyrics
FOR THOSE WHO'VE DEID
© 2011 Robert Matthew Souza
So you joined the war- to pay for school
Grow up and learn to be a man
But you didn't know you'd learn- how to be a killer
Now you're a long way from home
With a loaded gun in the holly land
To fight and die for somthin' you cant figure
For those who've died
You'll not be forgotten
Lets say a prayer for the soldier
you and I
For those who've died
You'll not be forgotten
Lets say a prayer for the victim
you and I
There was a time - I remember when
When I was just a boy
Hey mom and dad - don't you remember - Seems like a long time ago
I wish I could go back again
But that life is gone forever
For those who've died
You'll not be forgotten
Lets say a prayer for the soldier
you and I
For those who've died
You'll not be forgotten
Lets say a prayer for the victim
you and I
And for those who've survived
Something inside of them has died
And I pray for them - some day love will find them
And for those gone - gone so far so far away
At least for them there'll be no more - mpain and sorrow
For those who've died
You'll not be forgotten
Lets say a prayer for the soldier
you and I
For those who've died
You'll not be forgotten
Lets say a prayer for the victim
you and I
For those who've died
not be forgotten
Lets say a prayer for the child in
you and I
So you joined the war - to pay for school
Grow up and learn to be a man
But you didn't know you'd learn-
how to be a killer
