They sent us far thousands of us
Look them in the eyes never back off
You're here to fight stand your ground
We did until that sound
The moon was shining I was down crawling
In the mud fighting I heard my sergeant calling
Lives where dropping like toy pieces out on the field
Oh I prayed to God help us
Through the pain, in this bullet rain
I could barely breathe, swore I wouldn't release
The soul inside me to some future speech
Too early now, too early now
Is this the ending? Why were we contending?
Brotherhood, fighting and defending
Is it over now? Are we really down?
You'll be described as a hero in front of a listening crowd
Beautiful angel can't you sing? Some wise words to help my heartbeat
Beat on until the end of time
When we meet again somewhere in heaven
These are the streets we ran as kids
My hair was curly, everybody said I was a wild child
Who always got into trouble trouble
But she sat me down and she talked with me
Gave me some homemade cookies and she smiled
Told me 'bout her own time, years back so far
Second world war
Right now it's dark over me but our memories are free
A night so clear it explains what led us here
Stand straight, crush the crust
We have a dream and in our flag we trust
I miss you, I miss you so much
Now you're an angel I can see when I look up
Thanks for being there in the middle of the night
Took my hand said some words to my ear and you smiled
Beautiful angel can't you sing? Some wise words to help my heartbeat
Beat on until the end of time
When we meet again somewhere in heaven
You went away so far away
And now I'm lost in outer space
We said farewell but where went love?
And all those things that we dreamt of
A boulevard of broken hearts
Has never ever reached this far
I stay awake and I sing
Sing today I sing tomorrow
In this crazy life there is no time for sorrow
When duty calls you and what you fight for is the color of a flag
What a crazy world
I wish I had you here by my side now
Something's wrong when I'm walking on
These streets of love we ran as kids
See you later rest in peace
Beautiful angel can't you sing? Some wise words to help my heartbeat
Beat on until the end of time
When we meet again somewhere in heaven
