For This I Sing - Tackhead

Called away in my prime of life

Involved in a thing that was no way right

If you know what I mean

War it’s a heavy thing

My momma I knew she’d take it real bad

I was the very first son she had

Chorus: Up the next morning a brand new day

The day the called me to go away

To serve my country sweet tears of me

Why can’t we live in harmony

For this I sing

I’ve got to make a decision

Am I gonna live my life for this country

When so many people have nothing

So many people still suffering

This is a place with so much to give

Where a few have it all and the rest don’t have any

I’ve got to make a decision

Am I gonna give my life for this nation

When there’s so many people still suffering

The higher up goes the call to live

What are they gonna do with us all

Write our names on another black wall

Chorus: Up the next morning a brand new day

The day I didn’t go away

To serve my country sweet tears of me

Why can’t we live in harmony

For this I sing
