can you bring back my friend
(al parsons)

We were there
We saw it all
Some came home
No cheers at all
You built a wall
With names written down
And we can claim one
From each and every town

Our heads were hung
For years in pain
Now you tell us you understand
It’s OK
It’s the way the times were
And that I will agree
But that doesn’t put out
This fire inside of me

Something’s wrong
What made it right
We lived in fear
Day and night
Now everyone’s sorry
In fact it’s a trend
What I’m asking
Can you bring back my friend

Their makin’ movies
Their doing shows
Analyzing
Criticizing the blows
Some agree
We were there to defend
But the politics
Wouldn’t let it end

One night is his car
A bullet in his chest
Erasing memories
He never could forget
Three little girls and a mom
Will never know
How much he loved them
But couldn’t let it show

What went wrong
We gave our lives
We lived in fear
Day and night
Now everyone’s sorry
In fact it’s a trend
What I’m asking
Can you bring back my friend
What I’m asking
Can you bring back my friend
