I carry heavy prayers To the post office To the grocery store It's so strange to go on Living here Home & safe from harm But in constant fear of losing you (Chorus) Over oceans You've traveled. Through a darkness I'll never understand I don't claim to know the mind of a soldier But I once knew the heart of a man I know It's my job To keep on going Like nothing's changed But while you're off fighting wars With demons you can see Well there ain't nothing I can do To fight the devil inside me (Chorus) (Instrumental) If you come back to me One day We walk with the living And dream with the dead The ghosts sleep between us And cloud your eyes like rain How much can one man stand And still love again (Chorus) I once knew the heart Of a man I once knew the heart Of a man.
