Man I Never Knew/Houston’s Call to Arms

[SAM HOUSTON]
I'm calling to my brothers calling to all soldiers

[PETE]
I watch women every sunday
Tend a row of empty graves
Wives of men whose bodies
Never left company caves
I am one of many boys
Hearing heartbeats in the hill
I am one of many boys
With giant boots to fill
Is there something I can do
Forced to follow footsteps
Something I can do
For the man I never knew
Watch my brother every morning
Somehow got his roles reversed
Should be graduating
But the company got him first
I am one of many boys
Feeling trapped before we're trapped
I am one of many boys
But I'm the first that's snapped
Is there something I can do
Forced to follow footsteps
Something I can do
For the man I never knew
Grownups speak on your behalf
Say I'm more like you with every day
But in this crumpled photograph
All resemblance fades away
Is there something I can do
For the man I never knew

[SAM HOUSTON]
I’m calling to my brothers
Calling to all soldiers
(Spoken) Attention, men!

[PETE] (Spoken)
General Sam Houston! It's you! It is an honor to see you sir!

[SAM HOUSTON] (Spoken)
Time is of the essence. I'm here to plumb this land for any and all brave recruits
Who is with me?

[PETE] (Spoken)
I am!

[SAM HOUSTON] (Spoken)
Get in line, patriot
(Sung)
There's a showdown down in texas
A mission at a spanish mission
Called the alamo
The people of this great republic
Are looking for a hero
I'm calling to my brothers
Calling to all soldiers
Today you take a stand
Save what's yours and mine
Preserve that which is sacred
Serve and be a hero
Save the alamo
May the star of texas shine

[PETE] (Spoken)
Sir, what can I do for the cause?

[SAM HOUSTON & PETE]
Take down Santa Ana
A battle that I (you) cannot battle you'll (I’ll) be there at the line

[SAM HOUSTON]
May your mission at that mission
Be to keep it a shrine

[SAM HOUSTON & PETE]
Keep that land a shrine

[PETE] (Spoken)
If I blow up that mine, no one can go up there forever

[SAM HOUSTON & PETE]
I’m calling
Calling
Calling

[PETE]
I’m calling to my father
Calling to the mountain
Today I take a vow
I promise to keep
I'm going to my father
Going to the mountain
No man will disturb his deep, deep sleep

I am one of many boys
And we share a common code
I am one of many boys
And I'm ready to explode
There's gonna be fire
There's gonna be noise
There's gonna be hell to pay
For the burnt part boys
