Sarah Bettens The Soldier Song Paradiso 2006

Mother, I'm fine, everything's ok It doesn't help to worry anyway I'll be back before you know You will be so proud to know I was strong, I didn't let you down Mother, I lied, this is not for me I've seen so many people die and somehow I'm still here And I don't know why I should be The lucky one who gets to see Another morning through these tired eyes Mother, I'm dying, nothing more to give My body breathes, but I don't want to live And the bullet that's supposed to go Inside some poor son's back I hope it blows up in my face, so I can say Mother, I died, and you won't have to know There's nothing left but anger in my soul I never found my truth out there I never knew why we were there I lost my youth, but no one seemed to care Mother, I'm fine, everything's ok It doesn't help to miss me anyway I'll be in your heart you know And you will be so proud to know I was strong, I didn't let you down I didn't let you down I didn't let you down I didn't let you down I didn't let you down
