I'm sure that this is true for all of us when I say that I feel quite stongly about the war in Iraq. Well this is one of my all time favorite songs, and it's about war and how it affects families. It's about a family who hears that someone in their son's team was killed in the war, but they don't know if it's their son or not...so the father goes out for a drive, and if the wife finds out that he's alright she should leave him two lights on.
Two Lights Five for Fighting
What is Courage Is it Brave What are Lions I've only seen them in parades How is love supposed to read In a footnote of history What's a tap on your shoulder That you're afraid to look over A soldier's down in a fire fight No one can look me in the eye
This is what it means to be alone.
Tear out my Heart Feed it to Lions For this one wish I beg you this tonight Show me no mercy But spare me my pride I'm going for a drive
And if you find out he's coming home When I come around the corner I'll know that it's alright Just leave me two lights
He was young just 23 Didn't have to go But it was the man he wanted to be Like every son he was an only one One day he came to me, said Freedoms nothing to look over Till each man can stand upon its shoulder I'll right you mountains of letters Each one a little bit better And know I'll never be alone
Tear out my Heart Feed it to Lions For this one wish I beg you this tonight Show me no mercy But spare me my pride I'm going for a drive
And if you find out he's coming home When I come around the corner I'll know that it's alright Leave me two lights
Silent Angels Light the road up ahead As the sentries guard the way On the avenue of borrowed time
I'm almost home The sun's to rise I got to know I've been driving all the night There's our corner up ahead I'm alive and I am dead I drive right through the stop sign I turn my head As I lift my eyes My eyes burn
Tear out my Heart Feed it to Lions For this one wish I beg you this tonight Show me no mercy Spare me my pride
