and Iraq and it deals with the idea of wounds you can't see, you know, the obvious ones
that everybody can see on the street.
But then there's 18, 19, 20 year olds going off to war seeing things that nobody should
ever have to see and [N]
coming home to what seems like a pretty normal world that's not normal to them.
It's called Hero.

unsaid.

apart.
It's [F#m] been a long road home from my last [C#m]
farewell.
