Twenty-one Guns by Far From Finished

Twenty-One Guns lyrics

Jamie�s going off to war tomorrow
Trading in his shovel for a big old gun
Time to stand up time to be a man
Putting the trigger in his right hand
But she needs you now she can�t do it herself
Forced to put her dreams and her future on the shelf
Think of your wife your child on the way
She don�t wanna be a widow at his young age

We hear the sounds of bombs dropping
It�s ringing in our ears and we can feel it when you�re falling down

Twenty-one guns fired in the middle of the night
Twenty-one guns were blazing in the thick of the fight
Twenty-one guns one shot for every year of his life
Reaching for the courage to pull you through
But your back�s up against the sharp edge of the knife

We�re hanging ribbons of gold on the trees in the yard
And your thoughts are with us no matter how far you are
We�re always here with you
And it kills us inside knowing there�s nothing we can do
Bad news strikes the girls left alone
Left to raise her child and fend for her own
Another family that�s torn by war
Another soldier�s face down in the dirt
