[Verse 1]
D
I was born to be of service
A
Camp Lejeune just felt like home
Em
I had honor, I found purpose
G
Sir, yes sir
G
That's what I know
D A
They sent us to a place I never heard of weeks before
Em
When you're nineteen, it ain't hard to sleep
G
In the desert on God's floor
Em
Close your eyes, stop counting sheep
G
You ain't in bootcamp anymore
[Instrumental]
|D |G |
[Verse 2]
D
We were taught to shoot our rifles
A
Man and woman, side by side
Em
Thought we'd be met as liberators
G
In a thousand-year-old fight
D
I got this painful ringing in my ear
A
From an IED last night
Em G
But no lead-lined Humvee war machine, could save my sergeant's life
Em
Three more soldiers, six civilians
G
Need these words to come out right
[Chorus]
D A
God of mercy, God of light
Em G
Save your children from this life
D A
Hear these words, this humble plea
Em G
For I have seen the suffering
D A
And with this prayer I'm hopin'
Em G
That we, can be unbroken
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
D
It's 18 months now, I've been stateside
A
With this medal on my chest
Em
But there are things I can't remember
G

And there are things I won't forget
D A
I lie awake at night with dreams the devil shouldn't see
Em
I wanna scream, but I can't breathe
G
And Christ, I am sweating through these sheets
Em
Where's my brothers? Where's my country?
G
Where's my how things used to be?
[Chorus]
D A
God of mercy, God of light
Em G
Save your children from this life
D A
Hear these words, this humble plea
Em G
For I have seen the suffering
D A
And with this prayer I'm hopin'
Em D
That we, can be unbroken
[Bridge]
Bm
My service dog's done more for me
G
Than the medication would
D
There ain't no angel that's coming to save me
A
But even if they could
[Verse 4]
D
Today, 22 will die from suicide
A
Just like yesterday, they're gone
Em
I live my life for each tomorrow
G
So their memories will live on
D
Once we were boys, and we were strangers
A
Now we're brothers and we're men
Em G
Someday you'll ask me, was it worth it to be of service in the end?
Em G
Well, the blessing, and the curse is, yeah, I'd do it all again
[Outro]
