Speaking of Courage
The lineage of soldiers out serving tours
The things that they carried from boot camps to war
To fight and to die for the rights of man
Hands soaked in foul blood for Liberty's demand
Witnessing carnage of human design
Our faith in mankind shall concede and resign
Return home and squander the spoils of war
Disposed of/forgotten by the ones they fought for
But please don't forget
That battles are meant to be won
It takes courage to talk to someone
But speaking of courage
Did you see all our veterans fall?
They're bodies and numbers
Their usefulness weighed by someone
They're home but continue to fight
What wounds they have earned are far out of our sight
Speaking of courage did you see all our veterans fall?
Speaking of courage did you see all our veterans fall?
The terror they still try to understand
From the trenches of France to Afghanistan
Prisons of combat seared in the brain
Survivor's guilt weigh on those who remain
Trauma is nurtured by biting tongues
Inhaling black smoke deep into your lungs
Therapy and pills bare stigma and shame
To the ones who still feel they live in the shadows of vain
Don't forget
There are those who need you to heal
It takes courage to say how you feel
But speaking of courage
Did you see all our veterans fall?
They're bodies and numbers
Their usefulness weighed by someone
They're home but continue to fight
What wounds they have earned are far out of our sight
Speaking of courage did you see all our veterans fall?
Speaking of courage did you see all our veterans fall?
Purple hearts pinned and dog tags are pressed
into worn, bruised skin and bullet grazed flesh
Seeking approval from a single badge star
Where they've wandered and battled their payment is mar
No direction to go, when they're back from death row
Our sons and our daughters who've fallen quite low
Are we doing our part?
Is enough being done?
For the brothers and sisters who face down the gun
Speaking of courage
Did you see all our veterans fall?
They're bodies and numbers
Their usefulness weighed by someone
They're home but continue to fight
What wounds they have earned are far out of our sight
Speaking of courage did you see all our veterans fall?
Speaking of courage did you see all our veterans fall?
Speaking of courage did you see all our veterans fall?
The things that they carried from boot camps to war
To fight and to die for the rights of man
Hands soaked in foul blood for Liberty's demand
Witnessing carnage of human design
Our faith in mankind shall concede and resign
Return home and squander the spoils of war
Disposed of/forgotten by the ones they fought for
But please don't forget
That battles are meant to be won
It takes courage to talk to someone
But speaking of courage
Did you see all our veterans fall?
They're bodies and numbers
Their usefulness weighed by someone
They're home but continue to fight
What wounds they have earned are far out of our sight
Speaking of courage did you see all our veterans fall?
Speaking of courage did you see all our veterans fall?
The terror they still try to understand
From the trenches of France to Afghanistan
Prisons of combat seared in the brain
Survivor's guilt weigh on those who remain

To the ones who still feel they live in the shadows of vain

Speaking of courage did you see all our veterans fall?
Speaking of courage did you see all our veterans fall?
Speaking of courage did you see all our veterans fall?
