When And If
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I wrote her a letter yesterday; told her that I'm fine.
That I can't wait to come on back and make up for lost time.
The same life I promised her before, I'm going to give her when I open that door.
They say I'm here to fight their cause, and that I could die trying.
I'd like to think their aim is true, but I think that they're lying.
The same life I was living well before, I'm taking back soon as I open that door..
Lord will I live to see that day?
Deliver me a sign..
'cause it is only a matter of time before I lose my mind
yeah I'm losing my mind.
The same life I was living well before, I'm taking back soon as I open that door
'cause every day I wake up to this war
I load up my gun and I can't tell you what for.
I wrote her a letter yesterday; told her that I'm fine.
I may not see her ever again, but I'm gonna die trying.
I'm gonna die trying.
I'm gonna die trying.. die trying.
