They left him to die alone
With emotions tied to only pain
Pride is all lost like his home and bed
Only memories of their betrayal remain
War has no end he's still fighting but only in his head
His life is losing but he refuses to give up
Loser is reserved for those who've already lost
Holding onto honor, effort remains inside every breath
Many bridges burned and many more to be crossed
He fights further from failure but dangerously close to death
Too many memories of beat down and broken
Too many mistakes accepted as misfortune
You ignore his requests for work and help
The man who went to war and stood in your spot
The man who went to hell for the freedoms your dealt
Now holding pain because that's all that hes got
He gave you his sleep, he took your tears, he traded you his future
But you refuse to employ him, feed him or somehow help him
So when you sleep in what could have been his home...
don't forget to enjoy his freedom
