lyrics

A young man sneaking up on the age of 21
Shellshocked, they’re breaking me in the ways of war
Learning quickly day in and day out
The blood of children on my hands, insanity’s shout
If I get out of here I’ll never be the same
Anything soft you turn to stone
Every day dreaming of getting back home

Marching in with a hope and a prayer
Coming out with a metal heart and a thousand yard stare

they ship us home, purple ribbon for the chest
But the battle didn’t stop here, no rest
Friends gather together but it’s hard to hear
with the killing fields in the background always yelling in my ear
I tried, to not hide and look natural at the party
But I left, thinking it best, it’s hard to connect
with frozen eyes and a barbed wire chest

Marching in with a hope and a prayer
Coming out with a metal heart and a thousand yard stare

Freedom~~~ Freedom~~~

Walking wounded, took me years to reveal
my pain to other veterans and theirs to me
Tears fall like ashes, rage burning hot
Gonna tell my truth now, gonna fire this warning shot
So many lives traumatized and for what
Every word of mine, dynamite in service to heal
Gonna blow my story open so that I can feel

Freedom~~~ Freedom~~~

To be free, I want everyone to see the true cost of war
Feel the agony, face the insanity of what we’re fighting for
Can we fight just as hard to mend our soldier’s scars and then
Make this war inside finally end

Free~~Free~~Freedom
Freedom, Freedom, Freedom, Freedom, Freedom, Freedom
Can I find love, can I risk again, can I lay my heart bare
Can I open, can I heal, can I ceasefire with this thousand yard stare

Marching in with a hope and a prayer
