Lyrics for Souls Of The Departed by BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN:
| | | Artist: | BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Souls Of The Departed | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 146 | | | | Lyrics: | On the road to Basra stood young Lieutenant Jimmy Bly
Detailed to go through the clothes of the
soldiers who died
At night in dreams he sees their souls rise
Like dark geese into the
Oklahoma skies
Well this is a prayer for the souls of the departed
Those who've gone
and left their babies brokenhearted
This is a prayer for the souls of the departed
Now
Raphael Rodriguez was just seven years old
Shot down in a schoolyard by some East Compton
Cholos
His mama cried "My beautiful boy is dead"
In the hills the self-made men just sighed
and shook their heads
This is a prayer for the souls of the departed
Those who've gone
and left their babies brokenhearted
Young lives over before they got started
This is a
prayer for the souls of the departed
Tonight as I tuck my own son in bed
All I can
think of is what if it would've been him instead
I want to build me a wall so high nothing can
burn it down
Right here on my own piece of dirty ground
Now I ply my trade in the land
of king dollar
Where you get paid and your silence passes as honor
And all the hatred and
dirty little lies
Been written off the books and into decent men's eyes | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
