Brothers
Warm my baby from my breast Now my name and rank cover my chest Twenty-three hours I flew and wept Twenty-three hours I never slept Wiped my face, changed my soaking bra, told my body not to feel at all tried to be like you what must I do to prove that I'm a brother too? I thought RPGs were fireworks, that's how green I was at first Blood blistered feet, black and blue I slid inside my blood filled boots Seventy-pound pack plus you on my back Spilled my blood on the road, man I carried my load Kept you in my view, I'd die for you Don't that make me a brother too? It's okay to cry, that's what you say But if I do I'm damned anyway I learned to cry without a sound Cause I'm afraid you'll put me down You broke my heart on veterans day Don't you understand the words you say You raised a flag for the men you serve What about the women, what do we deserve? I was just like you when the bullets flew I had your back you had mine too Brothers in arms, your sisters covered you Don't that make us your brother too? Say it for me, say it for you Your sisters are your brothers too From Letras Mania
