When The Time Comes

When the time comes I put my feet in the water

It's not as warm as I expect

Will I go down like a preachers son?

Or will I come back up like a world war vet?

Will I watch my brothers die?

Speak true words into their lives?

Will I hold them close and tell them why

The life they led was sacrifice?

I don't know much

But I know about love

And how it hurts me to give up

It hurts me to give up

When the time comes I put my hands on the table

They are examined for what they are

A long life line that's been cut short

By the road, the time, the battle scars

What I would give to be back home

Where the sunsets over the water

Someone save me from these preachers sons

Save me from their daughters

Still I don't know much but

But I know about love

And how it hurts me to give up

It hurts me to give up

Why do we always say we're fine

When it's obvious we lie

Why don't we ever tell the truth

What do we got to lose?

And I don't know much

But I know about love

And how it hurts me to give up

It hurts me to give up

And I don't know much

But I know about love

And how it hurts me to give up

It hurts me to give up
