A Day At War

surrounded by missile and smoke.
when “hit the floor” and “keep running” are the only things spoke.
where killing is every day.
thanking the Lord that you ain’t died today.
and dying tomorrow’s a great possibility.
and all the soldiers under my responsibility.
we live and we die together. our policy.
and I would never take anyone off of me.
they fight and they cry for me.
they die for me. it’s a war that’s just how it’s got to be.
but we save a seat, when it’s time for me
and my end to meet.
there’s a time when it’s gotta come.
so save me some, until then it was nice
now I gotta run.
enemy is close behind, and my behind
isn’t safe until i cross that boundary line.
