Just one reason,
To wipe this slate clean,
I need on reason,
To bring me to my knees,

Let the command be heard,
and let this soldier scream,
Open fire they say,
And live another day,

I remember you well,
standing tall and unafraid,
like a beacon,
of just what we are,

why couldn't you see,
just what you meant to me,
my arm stretched out,
covered in that bright red sheen,

No you'll never know,
to ever be shown,
all the people we fight for,
or to ever make it home.

Rest well Jeremiah your battle still lies ahead.
