FAREWELL
Today's a day
that they knew could [bad word] but it hurts the same anyway
the soldier is called
to take part in the battle
but he's still just dad for today
The table is set
the family is gathered
to send their father on his way
his country calls
the soldier that leads them
is leaving to enter the fray [bad word] 
Farewell laughter
farewell to your boys
farewell daughter
farewell to your voice
farewell father
farewell to you son
farewell brother
until the war is done
What awaits no one knows
what war brings time will show
all that's certain is the cause and the man
all are hurting for the price war demands [bad word] 
What can be said 
when [bad word] so high
there's a lump in his throat
and everyone he cares for is saying goodbye
Tomorrow he leaves for war
but that doesn't matter now
all that he cares about
is enjoying this night somehow
But there's one who will suffer
more than the rest
yet she will still remain hopeful
she will still do her best
to raise their children to be worthy
of the freedom they possess
and to understand the sacrifice
of a soul whose blood is shed
What awaits no one knows
what war brings time will show
all that's certain is the cause and the man
all are hurting for the price war demands [bad word] 
THE SOLDIER
Sailing far and away
from the place he wants to be
but his heart's still there
though his job is across the sea
His thoughts are of reflection
the way he used his time
though his life was not perfection
the moments of regret were few to find
And somehow he knows 
that he won't [bad word] back
what he wonders the most
is how his family will react
But now the battle draws near
pulls him away from the past
with a sigh he moves [bad word] to lead the attack
Fear has left him and adrenaline surges
straight ahead he sees the battlefield
the first explosion brings death closer
his mind is focused his orders clear
Believing in freedom
enough to give his life
as the moment of [bad word] arrives
he's not afraid to fight
Taking down the enemy quickly
he fights alongside [bad word] willing to die for their country
willing to fight to keep men free
Believing in freedom
enough to give his life
as the moment of [bad word] arrives
he's not afraid to die
Bullets fill the air as thick as a smoke cloud
the cost of war lay spread across the ground
no one panics as the fighting turns fatal
at any moment the death toll could sound
Sudden pain strikes and he looks at himself
as he clutches his side he drops his gun
collapsing in darkness his eyes start to dim
and the next thing he knows he is gone
Believing in freedom
enough to give his life
as the moment of [bad word] arrives
this is his time to die

THE UNBELIEVER
Never again will I see his face
it's already lost from my memory
he's dead and gone, no sense in praying 
no time is left for him to love me
He'll never see me [bad word] a man
he'll never see me do the best I can
my hope has already begun to fade
there is no miracle to stop my rage [bad word] 
Dead and gone, no life after death
I don't believe-don't preach to me
call me crazy but I just don't see
I think your beliefs are just fantasy
I've lost my dad and I don't know why
anyone would choose to fight and die
he left us here and I don't believe
that war is worth the pain and grief [bad word] and peace can I have?
is there a way I can ease my mind?
those who claim in life beyond
are just the blind leading the blind
He'll never be here to share my dreams
to give advice when life is bleak
I feel abandoned in my hour of need
my anger builds, another flame to feed [bad word] 
DADDY'S LITTLE GIRL
Daddy's little girl
just a little girl now
the pain so unbearabl
