Beneath the Surface

Boots on the ground, dust in my eyes Another day, another sunrise But this dawn breaks different I’m finally free, leaving behind The ghost that haunted me Back in the land of the brave and the free But the echoes of war follow me They’re in the shadows, they’re in the breeze While everyone’s blind, lost in their ease Is this the peace we fought for? The life we defended? A world that’s forgotten The battles we’ve ended The fallen, the wounded Their sacrifice in vain While the storm gathers strength And the drums beat again Back in the land of the brave and the free But the echoes of war follow me They’re in the shadows, they’re in the breeze While everyone’s blind, lost in their ease Back in the land of the brave and the free But the echoes of war follow me They’re in the shadows, they’re in the breeze While everyone’s blind, lost in their ease
