lyrics

The soldier said '"I haven't walked
But seven miles since I came"
Don't tell me you appreciate me
Try at least to learn my name
The simple fact that I'm employed
The complex act of facing shame
When all the love has been deployed
What fighting heart can I avoid?

I missed love but love was patient
I was cruel but it was kind
I had gone and lost my way
But love won't let me lose my mind
I hurt you once, I hurt you twice
A third and fourth will come again
As long as I can tell it to
A man who can erase my sin
Or maybe to a man who knows
My mission and how it began

I would put you on my shoulders
Just to get you into heaven
Even if I never made it
Well, that's all I ever wanted

One judgement day, it has been set
In place by human faces here
They brandish self-diluted truths
As weapons to my heavy boots
All this watered down destruction
Labeled least of all corruption
Any bullet fired that I recall
Was sent from those in corporate suits
Any bullet fired that I recall
was sent to those in combat boots

I would put you on my shoulders...

If I could, I would go back
And lay in place of those who bled
But I was told to hold my own
Against the drones that want me dead
I must say, I disobeyed
When I jumped in to take your place
I'd lay on seventeen grenades
Guess that'd get me ample grace

I would put you on my shoulders...
