[00:13.80]I was there in the winter of '64
[00:19.43]When we camped in the ice at Nashville's doors
[00:25.06]Three hundred miles our trail had lead
[00:30.92]We barely had time to bury our dead
[00:36.35]When the Yankees charged and the colors fell
[00:42.31]Overton hill was a living hell
[00:47.65]When we called retreat it was almost dark
[00:53.53]I died with a grapeshot in my heart
[00:57.63]
[00:59.11]Say a prayer for peace
[01:05.26]For every fallen son
[01:12.05]Set my spirit free
[01:18.10]Let me lay down my gun
[01:24.53]Sweet mother Mary I'm so tired
[01:30.42]But I can't come home 'til the last shot's fired
[01:34.41]
[01:39.21]In June of 1944
[01:45.13]I waited in the blood of Omaha's shores
[01:50.95]Twenty-one and scared to death
[01:56.59]My heart poundin' in my chest
[02:02.15]I almost made the first seawall
[02:07.71]When my friends turned and saw me fall
[02:12.95]I still smell the smoke, I can taste the mud
[02:18.27]As I lay there dying from a loss of blood
[02:22.33]
[02:24.62]Say a prayer for peace
[02:30.85]For every fallen son
[02:37.55]Set my spirit free
[02:43.64]Let me lay down my gun
[02:50.08]Sweet mother Mary I'm so tired
[02:55.94]But I can't come home 'til the last shot's fired
[03:00.02]
[03:01.56]I'm in the fields of Vietnam,
[03:05.18]The mountains of Afghanistan
[03:08.23]And I'm still hopin', waitin' prayin'
[03:11.35]I did not die in vain
[03:16.33]
[03:16.73]Say a prayer for peace
[03:22.37]For every fallen son
[03:29.12]Set our spirits free
[03:34.98]Let us lay down our guns
[03:41.53]Sweet mother Mary we're so tired
[03:47.59]But we can't come home 'til the last shot's fired
[03:55.15]'Til the last shot's fired
[03:59.49]
[04:10.93]Say a prayer for peace (for peace)
[04:16.78]For our daughters and our sons
[04:23.46]Set our spirits free (set us free)
[04:29.37]Let us lay down our guns
[04:35.97]
[04:36.38]Sweet mother Mary, we're so tired
[04:41.65]But we can't come home (No we can't come home)
[04:48.71]
[04:49.48]'Til the last shot's fired
