You returned from the war
All freckles and fright
Said it's calm before dawn
But you just screamed names in the night
And you are more a man than I could be
I can't watch you pick away the seam
Now are you looking for God?
Or will you soldier on?
I watched you grip your cross
I heard the door slide along
Childhood of memory
You were always so brave
We were pinned back by enemies
But I, I knew I was safe
And you are more a man than I could be
But I can't help you find what you can't see
Now are you looking for God?
Or will you soldier on?
I watched you grip your cross
I heard the door slide along
