It’s so hard to stay when you’re so far away & I want to see your face just one more time Even in a great storm Cold, snow, rain, fog, or warmth I’d walk ev-er-y mile to have you in my arms Even through all the pain & the screams of yesterday Bursting bombs, blown up tanks, war sounds ringing’ in my brain I still hear all the cries “don’t you die”… “you’ll be fine…” “Stay with me” … “you’ll survive…” “We’re gonna be alright…” I reopened my eyes, saw bright hospital lights Life support’s running thin, I no longer qualify I hear the Corpsman talkin’ when one of ‘em walks in and says “sir, you’ve had a very good fight… it’s time to call it…” Unable to move, with no strength left to lose I just let the tears slowly roll down my brui-sed cheek If it’s my last day and I’m placed in the grave I just want you to know I’ll still find a way, ‘cause, see… It’s so hard to stay when you’re so far away & I want to see your face just one more time Even in a great storm Cold, snow, rain, fog, or warmth I’d walk ev-er-y mile to have you in my arms I said, it’s so hard to stay when you’re so far away & I want to see your face just one more time Even in a great storm Cold, snow, rain, fog, or warmth I’d walk ev-er-y mile to have you in my arms I’d walk ev-er-y mile to have you in my arms I’d walk ev-er-y mile to have you in my arms I’d walk ev-er-y mile to have youuu and to be with you forever… 05.30.2022 Every Mile 12:01am
