[Verse]
Dust on the phone it ain’t been ringing
Voices of friends no longer singing
The world spins on but here I’m waiting
Echoes of silence my heart’s debating
[Verse 2]
Letters unread and doors stay closed
Where did they go the ones I chose
I reached for hands that used to hold
But time has turned their warmth so cold
[Chorus]
Did the war take more than blood and bone
Leave me standing here all alone
I fought with pride in a brother’s name
Now it feels like they’ve forgotten my claim
[Verse 3]
I bled the same in the foreign sand
With them I stood as a loyal man
But back at home their eyes look through
The soldier they knew now split in two
[Bridge]
Is it the shade of my skin they see
Or a shadow of who I used to be
I thought respect would bridge the line
But silence tells me I’ve run out of time
[Chorus]
Did the war take more than blood and bone
Leave me standing here all alone
I fought with pride in a brother’s name
Now it feels like they’ve forgotten my claim
