We're fighting now
Will it ever end?
Will I get to go home
To see my newborn son
Or will I die
Before I get the chance?
Bombs go off
And I'm scared senseless
Where do I turn to?
To whom can I run to?
I run to God
But feel shunned
Left out
And so alone
I feel as if I am meant to die
My wife and son
Keep me alive
But the pain
Of seeing others fall
All around me
It hurts
And I cry for those
Dying
My new friends
Now gone...

Deep. Very sad and angering. Love the whole thing but the last stanza a little less.
