Give Me Strength

The ground is painted and the sky is torn An old man passes and a baby is born The war is over but the memories are strong My time is coming; It can’t be long The heroes are gone their stories engraved They took their glory to the grave The world is turning I can feel it spin It feels like a fire burning within I remember the sounds that they would make I remember feeling the Earth shake. “God give me strength”, I said aloud As I stormed the beaches feeling proud I fought with honor yet I lived in fear And as my brothers died beside me I shed no tears Now I feel the pain of my brothers long ago And I finally pull the trigger because I’m going home
