More Than Life Itself

Until this day I felt no fear
I gave little thought to why we’re here.
We came in droves with flags unfurled
To strike evil down, to save the world.

Our boots are shined, our kits are closed,
1000 young souls to the front we go
To the filfth and the death, to the innocence lost,
Far from love left at home and your loving arms.

CHORUS:

I will hold you when I’m dreaming.
I feel your gentle hands
I can hear you breathing.
And the world is at peace
And I’m overwhelmed
And I love you more than life itself.

So long I’ve been here overseas
Waiting to fight my enemy.
Alas, today I had my time.
I did the deed, I crossed the line
I heard his cry when I fired the round
He was writhing and bloody on the ground
And in his eyes I saw my own fear.
What have I done? Why am I here?

CHORUS:

I will hold you when I’m dreaming.
I feel your gentle hands
I can hear you breathing.
And the world is at peace
And I’m overwhelmed
And I love you more than life itself.

Solo

CHORUS:

I will hold you when I’m dreaming.
I feel your gentle hands
I can hear you breathing.
And the world is at peace
And I’m overwhelmed
And I love you more than life itself.

And the world is at peace
And I’m overwhelmed
And I love you more than life itself.
