The Prodigal Soldier - Take It Back

There once was a boy I knew

A heart so full of light

In a world only

Preaching darkness he held it all inside

The only one true innocent in this

Guilty generation

He walked a lonely dirt road with no one to hold

And nowhere to call home

He walks the streets at night (all alone)

With a cold steel

45 at his side

A little brother,

A worried mother,

A burdened father

Says to his son

«No acceptance,

You’ll find no acceptance»

Oh

Courageous one

You’re life’s worth so much more

Then to be thrown away

For someone else’s war

And as he pulls the trigger

His humanity, gone forever

And after all these years,

There’s still something there

My tortured

Friend,

Please come home soon,

Where you can finally,

Rest your weary soul.
