HONOR BOUND

We who made it back still have
A road to walk so long
For those we left behind
There is a duty to be strong

Time waits for no man so it’s said
And life goes on as well
But in our packs we carry those
We left back there in hell

With every step we take
For every day that we survive
We carry them inside our hearts
And they are still alive

Though some days they are heavy
And an ache inside the night
We carry on for those we left
Back there inside the fight
