Ok, let me first start off by saying this is my favorite song I've written, And it was also the first song I wrote that I really tried to say something. It sounds a lot better when I play it on guitar. Trust me

So many things you'll never have to know
So many places you'll never have to go
The war is over but still we're overseas
I'm not fighting but I feel it's killing me
Another year has gone by in the blink of an eye
I am so young but I'm not afraid to die
I'll hold this gun that you put in my hands
But I cannot bring myself to kill another man
Open your eyes and see all that you can see
You don't have to be anything you don't want to be
Take my hand we'll go where no one has been before
The only price you'll have to sell your soul
Another year has gone by in the blink of an eye
I am so young but I'm not afraid to die
I'll hold this gun that you put in my hands
But I cannot bring myself to kill another man
I'll tell you things that you don't want to hear
Hold me close darling we've got nothing to fear
The train has left now we're stranded on the road
Night has fallen and it's getting so damn cold
Another year has gone by in the blink of an eye
I am so young but I'm not afraid to die
I'll hold this gun that you put in my hands
But I cannot bring myself to kill another man
When I get home I just want to live my life
I've seen grown men who are not ashamed to cry
When I grow old I just want to be left alone
Like you and I were stranded on the road
Another year has gone by in the blink of an eye
I am so young but I'm not afraid to die
I'll hold this gun that you put in my hands
But I cannot bring myself to kill another man
