Last thing that boy did see

You know they took some more, lost ones

Took another one like me or you

For a lost one
Refrain:
F-G C
Do, some living for the lost ones

At sunrise tomorrow, with courage begged or borrowed
Am
Risk your heart,let it show

Additional Verses
Cold desert, wind and sun
In the Gulf in '91, another lost one
Africa in '93, in the Mogadishu streets
Another lost one
Route Florida in '04, Tekrit to Babylon takes one more
Another lost one
Ceremonial flying home, leaving those behind feeling more alone
More lost ones (Refrain)
Coming up 100 years of war
Each one final as the one before, for the lost ones
There's no bringing them back again
But while you're living, live a little for them, the lost ones
You can go to Arlington, or any Garden you care to name
You can take your choice
I keep them in my heart and soul you know
I keep them in my voice (Refrain)
