I thought when you joined the service, You would grow. I thought when I joined the service, That I would grow. I thought we would grow closer As brothers and friends, I thought "This is cool Hope it never ends" I thought you would be safe, The training was intense. I thought you would come home, You knew self-defense I thought the reports were wrong, They just had to be. I thought "He's not supposed to die, He's there to set them free.", I thought "How could this happen?" A life cut so short, I thought he would come home again And have another snort. I thought "This ain't fair, We just got close," I thought we were brothers, Closer than most. I thought "How could I honor a man Who gave his absolute?" I thought the best I could do Is give him my best salute. |
