Listen to this.
I shouldn't be sobbing, but holy ****ing **** I am.
and holy **** he actually wiped a tear from his eye at the end as well.
Here are the lyrics:
If you’re reading this…and my mama’s sitting there-
Looks like I only got a one-way ticket over here.
Sure wish I…could give you one more kiss-
War was just a game we played when we were kids.
Well, I’m laying down my gun…I’m hanging up my boots-
I’m up here with God and we’re both watching over you.
So lay me down…in that open field out on the edge of town-
And know my soul…is where my mama always prayed they’d ever go…
If you’re reading this –
I’m already home.
If you’re reading this…half way round the world-
I won’t be there to see the birth of our little girl.
I hope she looks like you…I hope she fights like me-
And stands up for the innocent and the weak.
I’m laying down my gun…I’m hanging up my boots-
Tell dad I don’t regret that I followed in his shoes.
So lay me down…in that open field out on the edge of town-
And know my soul…is where my mama always prayed they’d ever go…
If you’re reading this –
I’m already home.
If you’re reading this…there’s gonna come a day-
When you’ll move on and find someone else and that’s okay.
Just remember this…I’m in a better place-
Where soldiers live in peace and angels sing amazing grace.
So lay me down…in that open field out on the edge of town-
And know my soul…is where my mama always prayed they’d ever go…
If you’re reading this –
I’m already home.
