Hello mother, it's been long, I'm still here fighting, be proud of your son, My friends are dying, and I just wanna come home. The stars are under a different sky, Your prayers must be working 'cause I'm still alive, This place is so cold and I just wanna come home. I'm fighting, I'm bleeding, I know what's coming but I'm still breathing, Not giving up, not losing love, Not running away, I'm not afraid, I miss America, my miss America, When does the fighting end, where does the freedom begin? Hey there love, how have the kids been, Wish I could be there to tuck them in, But freedom is calling while your tears are falling. I've seen lives broke in two, Through these eyes: red, white and blue, I know why I'm here, still, I just wanna go home. I'm fighting, I'm bleeding, I know what's coming but I'm still breathing, Not giving up, not losing love, Not running away, I'm not afraid, I miss America, my miss America, When does the fighting end, where does the freedom begin.? My hair stands on it's end, Chilling thoughts as I defend, Running for cover, take cover my brother, To die another day as that banner yet waves. Hey there son, it's your time to go, I'm so proud, more than you'll know, But freedom ain't free and now you're just like me. I'm fighting, I'm bleeding, I know what's coming but I'm still breathing, Not giving up, not losing love, Not running away, I'm not afraid. I miss America, my miss America, When does the fighting end, where does the freedom begin? Where does the freedom begin? I miss America, my miss America, When does the fighting end, wheres does the freedom begin?
