They tell us of the enemy
They tell us shoot to kill
They tell us that our cause is just
They tell us we fight for freedom

Blood spills across the sand
Forgotten to the dessert
Killed by my own hand
In the name of freedom

She was just a kid
I am just a soldier
She was only playing
I was only following orders

I have fought and I have killed
For your righteous cause
But Mr. President,
You do not have to drill for freedom
Last night a soldier sat in my living room and told me of his time at war. He spoke of how he killed, and how he suffered
for his country. The solider is my brother and this is for him.
