Carry Me Off The Field

No one was astounded by my flesh and blood today

My dreams of greatness they have lied

Someone come get me, stop the battle , bring me home

Carry me off the field, tell 'em i died

I'm counting up the wounded from my hopeful little war

Send flowers the colors of my pride

And someone come get me, stop the battle, bring me home

Carry me off the field, tell 'em i died.

Oh how it hurts, she's up she's down again

My humanity has not learned to fly

But i can see an island, floating in the sea

Where they don't race, they dance side by side

I have learned a lesson, what my losses have won

Open-hearted, forgiving be my guide

Someone come get me, stop the battle, bring me home

And remind me it makes heroes just to try.
