Off To War

Don't cry mother dear, your boy has left you for a couple of years

He's packed his bags, packed in his courage

Put away his fears and stepped away into the unknown

And postpone all complications, yeah

A kiss goodbye and an upset stomach sends me on my way

What I believe, it gets me by, it gets me through the days

Tears fall and puddles form and days without an end

Determination or never building, the war has just begun

And it's one, two, three four, boys all marching out to war

Four, three, two, one, they won't stop til it's all done

And it's a left, right, steadfast, fast as the wheel but the lesson is sealed

Right, left, two step, onto the plane and the men come home

Oh don't you cry for me

Oh I'm coming home to your arms

One, two, three, four, take the lead and I'll follow you

You're a man with a plan, I'm a pawn in your hand

Tears to be bled, sacrifice to be made

It's my fate in your hands

All my brothers by my side with my line shutters tight

I will push the right, oh will you push the left-right

If one man falls they don't move til he's up, a one-man unit at the risk

Our handcuff, it's handcuff

And it's one, two, three four, boys all marching out to war

Four, three, two, one, they won't stop til it's all done

And it's a left, right, steadfast, fast as the wheel but the lesson is sealed

Right, left, two step, onto the plane and the man come home

Oh don't you cry for me

Oh I'm coming home to your arms

Oh don't you cry for me

Oh I'm coming home to your arms

And it's one, two, three four, boys all marching out to war

Four, three, two, one, they won't stop til it's all done

And it's a left, right, steadfast, fast as the wheel but the lesson is sealed

Right, left, two step, onto the plane and the men come home
