The 22's Cry

You took off the uniform you wore

And walked through your own front door

You didn't know what would happen to ya?

Sat in your living room with nobody around

Silence surrounded you with no purpose to be found

and to yourself you whispered oh God, please

Take this pain away

Take this pain away

In the darkness of each night

You lie awake fighting the hard fight

You didn't see your purpose anymore

now did ya?

When you finally fall asleep in your bed

Your mind replays the ones now dead

Your bleeding soul just cries, oh God, please

Take this pain away

Take this pain away

Your sweat drenched body tosses in your cot

There's not a single detail your minds forgot

You didn't believe this day would come now did ya ?

Another soldier goes in the ground

The loss is all around

From your lips you scream oh God, please

Take this pain away

Take this pain away

You said you'd fight the fight till it was done

But you haven't the strength to carry on

You didn't know how hard it'd be back home did ya ?

You've tried so hard to start anew

But you can't beat the demons inside of you

its a painful and a broken cry, oh God, please

Take this pain away

Take this pain away

You couldn't take the pain any more

Your soul bled out as you cried out for help

But you felt no one could understand

They bury you 6 feet down

All your family and friends around

They cry out

oh God, please

Take their pain away

Take their pain away
