Exit Wounds 5: The Believer

I believe that there's more than just this life
And I believe in my son's sacrifice
I can see why my boy would join the fight
And I can feel him looking down from the other side

There's no need for regret
He did what was right in his eyes
Why should I diminish his life
By seeing his death in a negative light

There are many things that don't make sense
But I never dwell on them for long
I've fought in war and seen men fall
And I know that they're not really gone

If there's nothing to believe in
Then life would have no reason
If faith is seeing blindly
Then remove my sight from me
I'm unshaken

And when I falter
I'll work my way back
To solid ground
Because I have
Conviction in the
Wisdom I have found

If there's nothing to believe in
Then life would have no reason
And death would be so senseless
For everyone not just my son
I'm decided
