The Farewell

Husband, father, brother, son Say goodbye and get your gun Defend your land until it’s done Stand and fight and never run It’s a beautiful thing that you do It’s noble and it’s brave and true Remember what I say to you We hate this but we’re proud of you.

Daughter, sister, mother, wife For you to live, I give my life I wish there was another way But you must go and I must stay Smile each time you think of me Be everything you can be The sun will shine again, you’ll see We’ll be together and we’ll be free.

Our precious time is running out so fast So hold on tight and we’ll make it last A last embrace, your saving grace We’ll do what we have to Please God, speed me back to you May God speed me back to you.

Husband, father, brother, son Say goodbye and get your gun Daughter, sister, mother, wife For you to live, I give my life.
