Blue October - Kangaroo Cry (New Version, Live, Dedicated to US Military)

July 4, 2009 Kapaun Air Station, Germany

A song dedicated to US Military

Losing my control
Here it is the day I have to go
Just sit beside me
I can't let this show
How sick I feel to leave you so alone
God I'm terrified

We've lost respect for decency
When one can turn our world into an ant pile
We run circles, no direction do I see
The dust has blinded you, the dust has blinded me

I kissed her on the cheek
And then I waved goodbye
She had the saddest look I've seen in years
A kangaroo cry
A warm pathetic ocean flow we have to live by
We have to live by
Because we have to live

Chorus
And you choose to break our families
Tell me you've used all precautions known
And I'll stand beside the ones who stood alone
How long will we have to sing until you finally bring our sons, our daughters home?
We'll let the prayers start healing, what time's been stealing

We only want to feel as close as we can be
Use hands for holding on to your precious family
Just believe in all who shine
The light to help you see
Cause if I believe in you, will you believe in me?

I kissed her on the cheek
And then I waved goodbye
She had the saddest look I've seen in years
A kangaroo cry
A warm pathetic ocean flow we have to live by
We have to live by
Because we have to live

Chorus
And you choose to break our families
Tell me you've used all precautions known
And I'll stand beside the ones who stood alone
How long will we have to sing until you finally bring our sons, our daughters home?
We'll let the prayers start healing, what time's been stealing

Keep hanging on
Keep hanging on

Keep hanging on
Keep hanging on

We'll let the prayers start healing, when time's been stealing

Start healing
Start healing

Yes, this one actually brought a tear to my eye as well as my sister-in-law. As an Afghanistan War Veteran, this song really touched my heart.

I love that a few of the soliders are crying...

I hope that this bullshit will soon be over...

Thanks Blue October for being you! :)
