Didn't Come Back

by Matt   Jan 17, 2008


The time is now
Time to make a stand
We fight for our freedom
For our country and our land

Our children
And our wives
They pray for us
Pray for our lives

Jimmy died last week
We left him in the rain
We couldn't do anything
Useless, he died in vain

Too many gone
Too many dead
This is it
This is the end

We're finally going home
It's all in the past
Who am I kidding
These memories will always last

They gave us all medals
And gave a big shout
But what about the others
Who didn't make it out

They'll never see their homes
Their families or they friends
It shouldn't be this way
This can't be the end

Fifty years later
Now as I look back
It was all in vain
For those
Who didn't come back
