Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Shots rang out, cuttin' through the haze,
A boy turned soldier, lost in the maze.
Dust rose up where the shells had fell,
The sound of war like a tollin’ bell.
He dove for cover, heart in his throat,
Dreamin’ of home as he clung to hope.
[Prechorus]
But the air was thick, the world turned red,
And prayers got lost in the noise instead.
[Chorus]
The weight of the fire, it don’t let go,
Leaves a mark so deep, you’ll never know.
He left his heart in a foreign sand,
A piece of a boy in a grown man’s hand.
[Verse 2]
His mama waits by the window still,
Humming a hymn, her heart feels ill.
The flag they sent don’t fill the space,
Of the boy who wore her husband’s face.
The porch light burns, but he won’t walk in,
Just the ache of the war he couldn’t win.
[Prechorus]
The letters stop, the silence grows,
And the weight of the truth is what she knows.
[Chorus]
The weight of the fire, it don’t let go,
Leaves a mark so deep, you’ll never know.
He left his heart in a foreign sand,
A piece of a boy in a grown man’s hand.
