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

[Chorus]
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
And 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 sorrow'

[Chorus]

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

If I lead will you follow?
