I didn't ask for this
I didn't ask for this
I'm sorry baby.
I'm so sorry.
Doctor says I'm gettin better
I don't really see what he means
Every time I see them, I shudder
But baby girl, don't worry
Darling I'll be home soon
The stories I've been told became reality
The frightening reality of war
But baby girl,
Love,
Don't fret.
I'll be back
Either in a casket or I'll be alive
Holding you in my arms
Oh the memories
Will I ever hold you in my arms?
Will I ever hold you again?
Will I even feel?
Why do I even think like this?
The grenades
The guns
The enemy
They torture me day and night
Stay strong
Stay strong for me
If I die, know that I'll be in Heaven
Remember how Jesus saved me, love?
Do you remember?
He kept me alive in that burning house as the firefighters found me lying on the floor
Lying on the floor with no reaction
But remember when I laid in that hospital bed?
Remember when the first thing I saw was you?
Darling, do you remember?
Please don't forget me.
Know that I fought for you
From the moment I first saw you
I fought for you
And I remember, before ever knowing God, that he told me you were the one.
I love you.
I love you.
Stay strong.
I'm almost home.
