I was born to be of service
Camp Lejeune just felt like home
I had honor I found purpose
Sir yes sir that's what I know
They sent us to a place
I never heard of weeks before
When you're nineteen
it ain't hard to sleep
In the desert on God's floor
Close your eyes stop counting sheep
You ain't in boot camp anymore
We were taught to shoot our rifles
Men and women side by side
Thought we'd be met as liberators
In a thousand-year-old fight
I got this painful ringing in my ear
From an IED last night
But no lead-lined
Humvee war machine
Could save my sergeant's life
Three more soldiers six civilians
Need these words to come out right
God of mercy God of light
Save your children from this life
Hear these words this humble plea
For I have seen the suffering
And with this prayer I'm hopin'
That we can be unbroken

It's eighteen months now
I’ve been stateside
With this medal on my chest
But there are things I can't remember
And there are things I won't forget
I lie awake at night
With dreams the Devil shouldn't see
I wanna scream but I can't breathe
And Christ I'm sweatin'
through these sheets
Where's my brothers
Where's my country
Where's my how things used to be
God of mercy God of light
Save your children from this life
Hear these words this humble plea
For I have seen the suffering
And with this prayer I'm hopin'
That we can be unbroken
My service dog's done more for me
Than the medication would
There ain't no angel
that's comin' to save me
But even if they could
Today twenty-two
will die from suicide
Just like yesterday they're gone
I live my life for each tomorrow
So their memories will live on
Once we were boys
and we were strangers
Now we're brothers and we're men
Someday you'll ask me
Was it worth it
To be of service in the end
Well the blessing and the curses
Yeah I'd do it all again
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
