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
