Unbroken

I was born to be of service Camp Lejeune just felt like home I had honor, I found purpose Sir, yes, sir That's what I know They sent us to a place I never heard of weeks before When you're nineteen, it ain't hard to sleep In the desert on God's floor Close your eyes, stop counting sheep You hear them bootcamp anymore We were taught to shoot our rifles Then in one, then side by side Thought we'd be made as liberators In a thousand year old fight I got this painful ringing in my ear From an IED last night But no lead light humvee war machine, could save my sargeants life Three more soldiers, six civilians Need these words to come out right God of mercy, God of light Seek your children from this life Here these words, this humble plea For I have seen the suffering And with this prayer I'm hoping That we, can be unbroken It's 18 months now, I've been stateside With this medal on my chest But there are things I can't remember And there are things I won't forget I lie awake at night with dreams of devils shouldn't see I wanna scream, but I can't breathe And Christ, I am sweating through these sheets Where's my brothers? Where's my country? Where's my how things used to be? God of mercy, God of light Seek your children from this life Here these words, this humble plea For I have seen the suffering And with this prayer I'm hoping That we, can be unbroken My service dogs done more for me Then the medication would There ain't no angel that is coming to save me But even if they could Today, 22, would die from suicide Just like yesterday, they're gone I live my life for each tomorrow So their memories will live on Once we were boys, and we were strangers Now we're brothers and we're men Someday you'll ask me, was it worth it to be of service in the end? Well, the blessing, and the curses, yeah, I'd do it all again Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh (Whoa)
