lyrics

Dear friend, I wish that I could say it's good to write you again. But, you and I both know that this is the first I've written. It's been a while. Six years since I've seen you and eight since I've claimed you, but I've been wishing you the best. We still share some common friends. Or, maybe they're acquaintances, ghosts from our pasts telling me how your years have passed. When we went to war, I worried for your flesh and bones. I worried for your heart, that it not go cold in this world, oh, so dark. Did it go dark? Did this world pull you apart? Did your parents not understand when you came back broken? I heard they would not hold you in their arms. I hope that they're lying, because it ain't good, what this country has done to you. I hope that they're lying because it ain't good, what your parents put you through. I hope that this song is a lie. I hope that you are alright. All the same, I hope that this song is a light for using to guide the way toward a peaceful resolution. The young man's plight can be to be poor and in war. You're out of options. The folks just want to feel safe at home, so they are sending out their children.
