Lyrics

I open my eyes 6 a.m. cold feet hit the ground
I lace my boots tuck my shirt then I fall in line
I’m waiting for a hot meal that could be the last one
When I’m through I take the only thing I call my friend

I jump to the ground and take my first cold breath of air
Drops of rain fall from the trees and land upon my hair
How long will it take for the first bullet to pass me by
I know for certain many of us will learn what it is to die

I’m going in
Don’t you forget me
I’m going in
Death is all I see

Never never coming back
Please tell my boy I was a hero
Never never coming back
I know I’ll never see the light of day again

Straight into battle as we charge face to face with death
Fear clenching on my throat as I take a breath
Suddenly I hit the ground I know the end is near
I think of what I’ll never see again and shed a tear

I’m going in
Don’t you forget me
I’m going in
Death is all I see

Never never coming back
Please tell my boy I was a hero
Never never coming back
I know I’ll never see the light of day again
