Soldiers Sent to Die

[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 

[Violin Solo]

Hard and soft guitar mixed with violin and a passionate voice. Meaningful rock, live
