Intro I landed here in country With my nations guns and flags I've been here three weeks now maybe little more Tomorrow they will ask us To take that stand of trees The fear I feel inside my chest Is the same as my enemy's There is a stutter in my lungs And a chatter in my breathing I'm engaged to be married to the method of my leaving I'm rarely found in situations that cause me to deliver Tonight I'll stay awake and write you To keep me from the shivers If you were a friend, I'd want to save you pain If you were a lover, I'd do the same If we were joined, I'd want to capture stars Let them loose inside your chest Forever keep you warm Tomorrow I'll meet my maker My body broken on the shore I'll ask for my forgiveness and then for nothing more Every night you lay awake for now and ever more My breath will be the breeze you feel From a distant shore Give me hope give me light Let the dawn follow night I will stay awake until There is nothing left to see Give me hope give me light Let the dawn follow night I will stay awake until There is nothing left to see
