I am the one who has fought the wars
And wept for the souls of the dead
I am the one who has walked the camps -
Ashen, with feet of lead.
I am the one who has seen the smoke
Rising from the enemy tent
I am the one who has attacked the outposts
In darkest of temperament.
I am the one who has heard and felt
and ordered the ripping gunfire
I am the one who is caged within
The tents, the guns, and the wires.
I am the one who has abandoned the wars
The running, the shouting, the killing
I am the one who has forsaken it all
For something much more fulfilling.
I'm coming home to you.
As the light marches in from yond horizon
Forcing back the night
Will you stand with me against the sun
And its piercing gaze so bright?
Look at me and promise me
That you'll stand by my side
And rebuke me when I'm taken over
By my anger and my pride.
Stand with me, fight with me
Win with me and fall with me
Cry with me and laugh with me
Hold my hand and set me free
Look at me and tell me again
I'm not the person that I was back then.

But you know that don't mean I'm not lonely
I got nothing to prove for it's you
That I'd die to defend..."
