Lyrics

So Far Away......

VERSE
Left my home when I was seventeen
Just a pawn to defend my queen
Broke bread with my brothers
in a God forsaken war

PRE
Tons of guns run through my head
Some of us were lucky, some lay dead
So much fear and pain, I can't take it any more.......

CHORUS
Momma will you miss me when the morning comes
Papa are you proud how you raised your son
Brother how I wish you were here today
When the dust settles, but you're so far away....

VERSE
Gunfire all around
Dropped my body down to the ground
Hands on my head
and I Prayed “Lord spare me”

PRE
To my left and to my right
Brothers got up and got on with the fight
I couldn't understand, "what was happening to me".....

CHORUS
Momma will you miss me when the morning comes
Papa are you proud how you raised your son
Brother how I wish you were here today but
When the dust settles, you'll be so far away....

BRIDGE
inSide I felt a pure sweet love
looked Down on my body from high above
I felt no fear with a white light all around me and God said
"Son take my hand Together we'll walk unto the promised land"
Now we march together and my spirit's wild and free.....

CHORUS
Momma will you miss me when the morning comes
Papa are you proud how you raised your son
Brother how I wish you were here today
When the dust settles, but you're so far away....

CHORUS
Momma do you miss me when the morning comes
Papa are you proud how you raised your son
Brother how I wish you were here today but
When the dust settles, you'll be so far away....
