War ripped my baby from my breast
Now my name and rank cover my chest
Twenty three hours I flew and wept twenty three hours I never slept
I wiped my face changed my soaking bra
Told my body not feel at all
I tried to be like you, what must I do
To prove that I'm a brother too
I though rpgs were fireworks, that's how green I was at first
Blood blistered feet, black and blue
I slid inside my blood filled boots
Seventy lb pack, plus you on my back
Spilled my blood on the road, main I carried my load
Kept you in my view I'd die for you
Don't that make me a brother too
It's ok to cry, that's what you say but if I do I'm damned anyway
I learned to cry without a sound 'cause I'm afraid you'll put me down
You broke my heart on veterans day
Don't you understand the words you say
You raised a flag for the men who served
What about the women what do we deserve
I was just like you when the bullets flew
I had your back you had mine too
Brothers in arms your sisters covered you
Don't that make us your brothers too
Say it for me, say it for you
Your sisters are your brothers too
