War ripped my baby from my breast Now my name and rank cover my chest Twenty three hours I flew and wept twenty three hours I never slept I wiped my face changed my soaking bra Told my body not feel at all I tried to be like you, what must I do To prove that I'm a brother too I though rpgs were fireworks, that's how green I was at first Blood blistered feet, black and blue I slid inside my blood filled boots Seventy lb pack, plus you on my back Spilled my blood on the road, main I carried my load Kept you in my view I'd die for you Don't that make me a brother too It's ok to cry, that's what you say but if I do I'm damned anyway I learned to cry without a sound 'cause I'm afraid you'll put me down You broke my heart on veterans day Don't you understand the words you say You raised a flag for the men who served What about the women what do we deserve I was just like you when the bullets flew I had your back you had mine too Brothers in arms your sisters covered you Don't that make us your brothers too Say it for me, say it for you Your sisters are your brothers too
