Lyrics

Suddenly I was a man
Machine gun in my hand
Sent away into a foreign land
Suddenly you were alone
I was far from home
I'm looking at this letter that you wrote

Where did my old life go again?
When will all this fighting end?
Maybe now and then you'll think of me ...

I have this picture of you in my hand
As I go to fight one more day
Send me your prayers when you're sleeping tonight
Don't worry about me today
So far away

Suddenly I was a man
Blood stains on my hands
To defend this flag for which I stand
Men who lye in shallow graves
From all the wars we wage
Freedom has a price we have to pay

Where did my old life go again?
When will all this fighting end?
Maybe now and then you'll think of me ... cause'

I have this picture of you in my hand
As I go to fight one more day
Send me your prayers when you're sleeping tonight
Don't worry about me today
So far away
