Last Letter Home

[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?
