12 days
And they tell us
We can go 12 more days
And this world is over
But how
Can I face my family
Back at home
I can wash
The blood away
But not the sorrow
I can't change
And I'm not the same
I won't bring
This soldier home
Tell Mama
That her son is gone
Tell my wife
And my kids
That I loved them
Every day
Give my boy
This ring
Give my wife
This money
Tell my darling
Little girl
That daddy
Had to go away
I just couldn't
Touch your face
Using hands
I've killed with
I can't change
And I'm not the same
I won't bring
This soldier home
Tell Mama
That her son is gone
My heart's grown
Cold my hands
Are shaking
My friends are dying
But 12 more days
No more pain
I'll just fade away
I can't change
I'm not the same
I won't bring
This soldier home
Tell Mama
That her son is gone
