purple heart - mel bryant & the mercy makers lyrics

we started to lose you years ago
it was subtle and slow
how could we know?
we held on to the pieces of you
that shine like survivors in the wreckage
to me and my purple heart

just seventeen, you were too young to see
what your daddy was fighting for
that was another war that took you away
though he begged you to say
cause he knew what his baby had coming
so he held on to him and his purple heart

bodies washed at the normandy shores
remembering brother, rеmember mother
wе [?]
it never got better
than holding hands at the hospital
watching his brother earn his purple heart

so many bullets don’t come from a rifle
they’re from doctors and lawyers
and the news and the bible
you took so many, i know you deserved every honour
though you never got one
you just got me and my purple heart
now we’re saluting a cold twenty one
and we’re on the frontlines, there ain’t no guns
they didn’t shoot us, but lord, how it stung
when they laid him down
along with all of our purple hearts

- mel bryant the mercy makers lyrics
