Carry Me Off The Field lyrics

No one was astounded by my flesh and blood today My dreams of greatness they have lied Someone come get me, stop the battle , bring me home Carry me off the field, tell 'em i died I'm counting up the wounded from my hopeful little war Send flowers the colors of my pride And someone come get me, stop the battle, bring me home Carry me off the field, tell 'em i died. Oh how it hurts, she's up she's down again My humanity has not learned to fly But i can see an island, floating in the sea Where they don't race, they dance side by side I have learned a lesson, what my losses have won Open-hearted, forgiving be my guide Someone come get me, stop the battle, bring me home And remind me it makes heroes just to try.
