So Far Away
I woke up early this day. Packed my bags of green.
So heavy, got dressed and marched to the plane.
Looking out the window I see the sun.
The sun is there, its gone. It's there again.
So far away.
Stepping off now.
It's hot, its hotter than hot.
Never felt heat like this before, blinding heat.
As with the sand on my feet my mind is blind.
Can't see my past.
Don't know if there is a future here.
This is a good thing for now !
Must live must live, must fight to live.
I'll live, if i fight. I will, I will, I swore I would.
I fight for you. I fought for me.
I am a soldier, you see.
So far away. I live I live, so you live free !
