Letra de Unbroken

i was born to be of service
camp lejeune just felt like home
i had honor, i found purpose
sir, yes, sir, thats what i know

they sent us to a place
id never heard of weeks before
when youre 19 it aint hard to sleep
in the desert on gods floor

close your eyes, stop counting sheep
you aint in boot camp anymore

we were taught to shoot our rifles
men and women side by side
thought wed 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 sergeants 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 im hoping
that we can be unbroken

its eighteen months now ive been stateside
with this medal on my chest
but there are things i cant remember
and there are things i wont forget

i lie awake at night
with dreams the devil shouldnt see
i want to scream but i cant breathe
and, christ, im sweating through these sheets

wheres my brothers? wheres my country?
wheres 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 im hoping
that we can be unbroken

my service dogs done more for me
than the medication would
there aint no angel thats coming to save me
but even if they could

today twenty-two will die from suicide
just like yesterday, theyre gone
i live my life for each tomorrow
so their memories will live on

once we were boys and we were strangers
now were brothers and were men
someday youll ask me "was it worth it
to be of service in the end?"

well, the blessing and the curse is
yeah, id do it all again
