You know that our parting breaks my heart
I have never felt such sorrow
All the love I have I leave with you
I once promised 'til death do us part
And yet I'll be gone tomorrow
Please believe me, what I said was true
But when I go I'm on my own
The path I walk I walk alone
I face a bitter world with only memories to guide me
I care more than I have ever cared
Yet I know that I am leaving
You'll be in my heart my whole life through
And all the love I have I leave with you
You're a father, you've a family
Your son needs you, don't ignore him
Just to fight a war you cannot win
I hope my son will be proud of me
When I fight I'm fighting for him
Share the love I leave for you with him
And so we all must pay the price
For such a stupid sacrifice
Don't you understand that this won't end 'til we let it?
When I'm gone you know I won't be back
Mine's a path that has no turning
Please believe me, what I said is true
That all the love I have I leave with you
And all the love I have
You take with you
