For our family you leave every night
Get on the line and go and fight
Against the dragons who wait
For you to kill them and twist fate
Your clothes black with dirt
And sweat stained
When you return home again
Never lose your way
Never give in to fear
I'll love you no matter
I'll wipe away the tears
You work all night can't sleep in the day
Getting paid the same as an indentured slave
Your body used, wet with sweat
For the dollar to pay the rent
But you deserve so much more
Than getting used and getting bored
Never lose your way
Never give in to fear
I'll love you no matter
I'll wipe away the tears
I miss you when you're gone so long
Your body broken, your dreams gone
There is so little reward and so much regret
No cards or letters, just bills are sent
What you are doing isn't wrong but
You're not a drone working night to dawn
Never lose your way
Never give in to fear
I'll love you no matter
I'll wipe away the tears
