Looking Back On Iraq
Looking back on it all
before we left our home
worried about the futures mess
listening to our duties call.
Fearful of the things to come
knowing that we might die
going into a battle zone
hearing our children's cries.
Thinking of the sacrifice
each one of will make
to give our lives in their defense
this code we will not break.
Now were here and almost done
the time has gone by fast
some have fallen along the way
their memories will always last.
My greatest fear of all these things
is that's its all in vein
but one thing that i know for sure
none of us will be the same.
Nothing could have prepares us more
for the things that we've experienced here
some things good and some things bad
some of us have faced our fears.
But as we leave we all look back
and remember the things we've lost
our fallen friends and brothers
who all have paid the cost.
We will take with us a piece of them
and live the American way
we will live our freedom to the max
because that is the price they've paid.
