Hello there my dearest love

Today I write to you about our sons

The boys start school today

They're the spitting image of you in every way

Hey son it's dad

I hope this letter finds you well out of harm's way

We saw the news today it frightened your mom

Now all she does is pray

[Chorus]

If I lead will you follow?

Will you follow if I lead?

Hey melissa it's me don't be afraid

I'm in good hands I'm gonna be home soon

It's time to watch the children grow up

I wanna be more than a voice on the phone

Thanks ma I got your package today

I love "the fields of athenry"

I swear I want 'em to play that song on the pipes

At my funeral when I die

[Chorus]

I stand alone in the distance

And the foreground slowly moves

[Chorus]

"We regret to inform you that on january 28th sgt. andrew

Farrar died while serving his country in the al-anbar province

Of iraq words cannot convey our sorrow"

[Chorus]

When there's nothing on the horizon

You've got nothing left to prove

If I lead will you follow?
