Late December, early light
Praying to God that I’m alright
Oh they put a rifle in my hand
Shipped me to a dirty, foreign land
I lay my head on the cold hard ground
I close my eyes and cast these demons out
Try to separate the wrong from right
Cause man I ain’t got strength tonight
CHORUS
Oh say can you see,
This flag’s not waving in the breeze
Oh beautiful skies
Once filled with amber, and now filled with cries
Oh say can you see
Well my grandpa fought in World War Two
And never said too much about the hell that he went through
He’d say, “Freedom always comes with a price
Don’t ask who’s getting paid tonight”
(CHORUS)
Peace on earth never sounded so wrong
If the things we do to win this war,
Tear us from what we’ve been dying for
(CHORUS)
Late December, early light
Hope that I make it through the night
