Far From Finished

Jamies going off to war tomorrow
Trading in his shovel for a big old gun
Time to stand up time to be a man
Putting the trigger in his right hand
But she needs you now she cant do it herself
Forced to put her dreams and her future on the shelf
Think of your wife your child on the way
She dont wanna be a widow at his young age
We hear the sounds of bombs dropping
Its ringing in our ears and we can feel it when youre falling down
Twenty-one guns fired in the middle of the night
Twenty-one guns were blazing in the thick of the fight
Twenty-one guns one shot for every year of his life
Reaching for the courage to pull you through
But your backs up against the sharp edge of the knife
Were hanging ribbons of gold on the trees in the yard
And your thoughts are with us no matter how far you are
Were always here with you
And it kills us inside knowing theres nothing we can do
Bad news strikes the girls left alone
Left to raise her child and fend for her own
Another family thats torn by war
Another soldiers face down in the dirt
