[Guitar Solo]
The knock on the door has arrived
Two men with a flag box suprise
Telling you, your son was a hero
Not telling you he was sent to die…
My boy gave the ultimate sacrifice
His life is gone now but why….
How has anything gotten better
Why was he sent to die
[Guitar Solo]
He woke up one day inspired
Excited to join and serve
Proud to represent and protect
No idea of what he would learn
Sent overseas on his first tour
Innocent, but willing and brave
Believed in the cause he was told
Loaded up and sent to save
Not knowing this would be his last day!
My boy gave the ultimate sacrifice
His life is gone now now but why
How has anything gotten better
Why was he sent to die
[Violin Solo]
His wife and kids suffer on
With only pictures and memories to hold
Sadness and anger persist
Why was he sent to die
My boy gave the ultimate sacrifice
His life is gone now but why
Has anything gotten better
Why was he sent to die!
[Guitar Solo]
I watch the news and the bodies multiply
Parents grieve and lose faith in the why….
Marching in streets to save lives
Not wanting other sons to die
My boy gave the ultimate sacrifice
His life is gone now but why
Has anything gotten better
Why was he sent to die
