A soldier's down in a fire fight
And if you find out he's coming home
What's a tap on your shoulder?
When I come around the corner
“Freedom's nothing to look over
And know I'll never be alone
That you're afraid to look over
As the sentries guard the way
I'll know that it's alright
I drive right through the stop sign
On the avenue of borrowed time
I'm almost home, the sun's to rise
I got to know, I've been driving all the night
Tear out my heart, feed it to lions
For this one wish I beg you this tonight
I'll know that it's alright
Tear out my heart, feed it to lions
Like every son he was an only one
Show me no mercy, spare me my pride
Oh, for this one wish I beg you this tonight
Oh, I'm going for a drive
Just leave me two lights
My eyes burn
Oh, I'm going for a drive
When I come around the corner
There's our corner up ahead
I'll right you mountains of letters
Tear out my heart, feed it to lions
This is what it means to be alone
How is love supposed to read?
No one can look me in the eye
Just leave me two lights
Silent angels light the road up ahead
And if you find out he's coming home
He was young just 23, didn't have to go
Oh, for this one wish I beg you this tonight
But it was the man he wanted to be
Show me no mercy but spare me my pride
Each one a little bit better
I turn my head as I lift my eyes
I'm alive and I am dead
In a footnote of history
And one day he came to me, said
Show me no mercy but spare me my pride
Till each man can stand upon its shoulder
