[Verse 1]
Hello there, my dearest love
Today I write to you about our sons
The boys start school today
They're the spitting image of you in every way
[Verse 2]
Hey son, it's Dad
I hope this letter finds you well out of harm's way
We saw the news today
It frightened your mom, now all she does is pray
[Chorus]
If I lead, will you follow?
Will you follow if I lead?
[Verse 3]
Hey Melissa, it's me, don't be afraid
I'm in good hands, I'm gonna be home soon
It's time to watch the children grow up
I wanna be more than a voice on the phone
[Verse 4]
Thanks Ma, I got your package today
I love "The Fields of Athenry"
I swear I want 'em to play that song on the pipes
At my funeral when I die
[Chorus]
If I lead, will you follow?
Will you follow if I lead?
I stand alone in the distance
And the foreground slowly moves
If I lead, will you follow?
Will you follow if I lead?
[Bridge]
"We regret to inform you that on January 28th, Sgt. Andrew Farrar died while serving his country in the Al-Anbar province of Iraq. Words cannot convey our sorrow."
[Chorus]
If I lead, will you follow?
Will you follow if I lead?
When there's nothing on the horizon
You've got nothing left to prove
If I lead, will you follow?
