Out There

He is
Still breathing
Still breathing
Heart is
Still beating
Still beating
One,
Two,
Three.

Bombs fall
Mines burst
Dirt
Dirt
Everywhere
Bodies fall
Screams echo
Gunfire
Take cover

He is
Still breathing
Still breathing
The heart is
Still beating
Still beating
One,
Two,
Three.

He ducks in the trenches
Holds on to his gun
For dear life
What a mess...
There's yelling
For order
In the chaos
But all he can think about
Is her
And home
Bring him home
Soon...

He is
Still breathing
Still breathing
The heart is
Still beating
Still beating

Don't worry
He wrote
I'll be fine
Everything's going to be alright
He wrote in ink
Have that smile
Ready for me
When I come home
Soon
I promise you
He sent that letter
She cherishes that letter
He worries about her
She worries about him

He is
Still breathing
Still breathing
The heart is
Still beating
Still beating

How long
Can this go on?
Bring him home already
She's waiting...
