Ellis Paul - Kiss The Sun Lyrics
When I was nineteen,I joined up with the reservesAnd I fought on weekendspaid my college tuitionBut out in the killing fields,you come to question all you learnis peace the trutha universal truthor some man made superstition(chorus)I dreamt I ran through Kansas wheatfieldsslept in the shadows,where the Rockies kiss the sun, they kiss the sunI dreamt I could hear freedom's sweepin Martin Luther King's speeches (Lenny Bruce, Woody Guthrie)Wasn't he reaching for the promise of America?I heard Pat Tillman diedin the hills of AfghanistanHe came for justicenot for greed, not for egoHis truth came through the foglike the hometeam's marching bandAre you a warrior, or a savior,or the great American hero?(chorus)My wife, she's writingthe war's on CNN"It looks pretty bad from here...""You should see it from my end -"I'm just a sentinelJust a sentinelFighting an oilman's warAnd I need to know, I need to knowIs that what Pat Tillman died for?(chorus)
