[Verse 1]
       DI was born to be of service
        ACamp Lejeune just felt like home
       EmI had honor, I found purpose
          GSir, yes sir
GThat's what I know
      D                          AThey sent us to a place I never heard of weeks before
             EmWhen you're nineteen, it ain't hard to sleep
        GIn the desert on God's floor
             EmClose your eyes, stop counting sheep
              GYou ain't in bootcamp anymore

[Verse 2]
         DWe were taught to shoot our rifles
         AMan and woman, side by side
                 EmThought we'd be met as liberators
       GIn a thousand-year-old fight
            DI got this painful ringing in my ear
        AFrom an IED last night
        Em                                   GBut no lead-lined Humvee war machine, could save my sergeant's life
            EmThree more soldiers, six civilians
            GNeed these words to come out right


[Chorus]
 D             AGod of mercy, God of light
 Em                 GSave your children from this life
 D                      AHear these words, this humble plea
    Em               GFor I have seen the suffering
     D                    AAnd with this prayer I'm hopin'
     Em             GThat we, can be unbroken

[Verse 3]
         DIt's 18 months now, I've been stateside
           AWith this medal on my chest
                EmBut there are things I can't remember
                GAnd there are things I won't forget
   D                                  AI lie awake at night with dreams the devil shouldn't see
           EmI wanna scream, but I can't breathe
                   GAnd Christ, I am sweating through these sheets
             EmWhere's my brothers? Where's my country?
            GWhere's my how things used to be?


[Chorus]
 D             AGod of mercy, God of light
 Em                  GSave your children from this life
 D                      AHear these words, this humble plea
    Em               GFor I have seen the suffering
     D                    AAnd with this prayer I'm hopin'
     Em             DThat we, can be unbroken


[Bridge]
    BmMy service dog's done more for me
          GThan the medication would
               DThere ain't no angel that's coming to save me
    ABut even if they could


[Verse 4]
   DToday, 22 will die from suicide
           AJust like yesterday, they're gone
           EmI live my life for each tomorrow
              GSo their memories will live on
              DOnce we were boys, and we were strangers
            ANow we're brothers and we're men
               Em                                   GSomeday you'll ask me, was it worth it to be of service in the end?
            Em                                   GWell, the blessing, and the curse is, yeah, I'd do it all again
