[Verse 1]
One day wiser, two days older
Wounded heart, wounded shoulder
Neither easy to get over
Hide your pain, stoic soldier
[Pre-Chorus]
Lay down your arms, empty your holster
Surrender your heart to me now
Right in sight, taking over
This burning pride, I won't back down
[Verse 2]
Two days wiser, four days older
Bullets soar upward and over
Tears are cold, but anger is bolder
Let it all out, burning soldier
[Pre-Chorus]
Lay down your arms, empty your holster
Surrender your heart to me now
Right in sight, taking over
This burning pride, I won't back down
[Chorus]
Fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers
Buddies, hubbies, wives, and lovers
Whoever you are, forgiving is hard to do
We've gotten this far, but still we have work to do, to do
[Verse 3]
Eight days wiser, one week older
Rations low, spirits lower
I can't even recall what we're fighting over
Wave your flag, tired soldier
[Pre-Chorus]
Lay down your arms, war is over
Let's bury the hatchet and dig up the mines
Lay down your arms and come on over
I promise not to say how wrong you were
[Chorus]
Fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers
Buddies, hubbies, wives, and lovers
Inspire the stars, there's nobody else like you
We've gotten this far, I promise we'll make it through
