Reality Of War

Tomorrow the war will take me,
to meet the foe,
We'll fly quickly,
Freedom and peace is what we fight for.
But once the war is done,
the memories are kept close
But all my friends will be ghosts
Making it home is all I think about
Fighting for our lives
Keeping my family safe is all I care about
