Song: My Brother In Arms
"Chorus"
Brother in arms, I need you by my side
Right now are tough times
But our strength works better in pairs, on the lines
If I put my life on the line
I will let it be for you
Because it's all I have left
Then my life will be true
Verse I
Time for battle preparation at rest
Time for battle is what I stress
I never decided, But one time I have before
Desert heat blaze my hearts in stake
From when I kissed on my last romantic day
I knew that this, might have been a mistake
I shake my head, brush off the memory that led,
My life to my upfront departure, frontlines calling,
But I have that worry instead
"Chorus"
Verse II
I hear the sounds
Of helicopters, medics arrive
A bleeding struggle in this blood shed jungle
Then I see a cap, fired off with his head
This, for the first time, I'm scared
I don't like these color schemes
Blood shed, A widowed mother
Blood red and clear water, I see people in tears
Suddenly I lose my fears
I guess out of love,
Or my newly informed newborn's cheers
"Chorus"
In this life's state, anger and love,
They both relate
I can't think of any thing else, but what my life is at state
People judge my president, just as I did last night
They think he has no right
But when I look at who we're fighting
I believe in no total control, they should have their rights
I chose this path
For I was born and free to be
I'd rather give my life
Put my life on the line
For all people, and not just one country, before my death
I‘m telling you this, after I take my last breath
You are my friend,
And a brother, I should,
On my final word I said…
"I‘m speaking now"
My brothers in arms, we need you tonight
We knew they’ll be tough times
But we fought by your side
Your strengths will work better
Once you work together
Once you stand by each other's side
You will put your life on the line
Let it mean for each other
Even if you never had a brother
We remember your sacrifice
We remember your love
Which you showed, through your brave face
My brother your life was true,
With you…
We made it a better time and place
