about

Here it is. The title track of the album. Who doesnt love to close things up with a ballad!? I originally started writing this song several years ago after a former high school teammate of mine was killed by an IED in Fallujah. I feel it brings a sense of closure to the album.

lyrics

Our children go off to the war
thought they're barely 18 years old
something inside said to go
so they packed up their bags and left home
now we're all counting on someone to carry this burden alone
while we're all waiting for someone to walk back through our doors

If I fall our here would you catch me?
its not enough just to show
we'd like to know your there
when the light go down can you save me?
we'll use our voices to cut through the dark and despair
we know you're there

its never enough to give all
when they keep coming back wanting more
alls lost in the times once again
and we're stuck here in this midnight war
but they all know that theres someone
counting on them back at home
and they will step from the shadows to face the coming storm

CHORUS

what ever could i ever do to make this life seem warm and safe forever?
I'll never know. I never knew the innocence of youth was at hand.
I'll leave it all. I've lost it all and if asked of me i would do it again.
what ever could I ever do to make this life seem warm and safe forever?
(as our hearts beat faster)

CHORUS
