  • Hello there my dearest love
    Today I write to you about our sons
    The boys start school today
    They're the spitting image of you in every way

    Hey son, it's Dad
    I hope this letter finds you well out of harm's way
    We saw the news today, it frightened your mom
    Now all she does is pray

    If I lead, will you follow?
    Will you follow if I lead?

    Hey Melissa, it's me, don't be afraid
    I'm in good hands, I'm gonna be home soon
    It's time to watch the children grow up
    I wanna be more than a voice on the phone

    Thanks Ma, I got your package today
    I love "The Fields Of Athenry"
    I swear I want 'em to play that song on the pipes
    At my funeral when I die

    Chorus

    I stand alone in the distance
    As the foreground slowly moves

    Chorus

    "We regret to inform you that on January 28th, Sgt. Andrew Farrar died while serving his country in the Al-Anbar province of Iraq. Words cannot convey our sadness."

    Chorus

    When there's nothing on the horizon
    You've got nothing left to prove

    If I lead, will you follow? Writer/s: BARR, BRENNAN, CASEY, KELLY, LYNCH, ORRELL, WALLACE
