Exit Wounds 7: The Soldier Alive

I want to be
The man my father was
And if I'm half that
I'd be a better man because
I would have faith
I would never lack love
For the people that surround me
I could never give enough
And I'd see my freedom
In the light that it's meant to shine
I'd see that nothing that surrounds me
Is gained without a price

I want to be
The man he saw in me
And if I'm half that
I know that he will see
