Story Behind the Song
If you know anyone in the military, especially in this time of war, you know what this is about.
Lyrics
Did you think it was right?
For them to tell you to fight?
In this time of hell,
We wish you well.
And they won’t bring you home,
Till they know that its gone,
You must act now,
To gain peace somehow,
When everything seemed much easier,
When we weren't 10,000 thousand
miles apart, are you dancing in the streets?
Did it hurt to leave home,
To leave the people you know,
To keep peace somehow,
Do you have to leave now?
And they won’t bring you home,
Till they know that its gone,
Take care in the fight,
May god spare your life...
Did you tell them to fight,
To sacrifice their life,
For what others believe,
Is that hard to conceive?
Realize in this time,
Our world’s lost sight,
For what they hold true,
Can they depend on you?
When everything seemed much easier,
When we weren't 10,000 thousand
miles apart, are you dancing in the streets - or underground, fighting people that have lives that mirror - your family’s home, waiting desperately for your return.
