Dust covering my face,
Medevac just took off,
Soldiers dead,
I wonder, why not me
My mind in a daze,
What just happened,
Why did we switch roads,
At last second,
It’s death,
The game we play every day,
The guilt remains,
Why not me,
I wonder, why not me,
Sirens screaming in the dark night,
Child hit by a stray bullet,
Innocence shattered,
I wonder, why not me,
Mother screaming,
”My baby, my baby”
Death is in the air,
I feel it,
It’s death,
The game we play every day,
I wonder, why not me,
Death replies, “not yet…”
