Second Great War
words and music by David Story

Take a last look around,
We'll shake the dust of this town;
Cut back 'cross the counties we knew once before,
Before the start of the Second Great War.

Burn back through those hedgerows and wires,
Far from the frozen foxhole fires,
To trees that ain't naked, a house that ain't quite as cold;
I'm a child, I'm a soldier, I'm old.

Carry me on through the river,
Carry me over the valley floor,
Carry me to the banks of that white western shore;
I'm a child of the Second Great War,
I'm a child of the Second Great War.

When they drew us our generals and gods
We were two brothers playing the odds
On a wheel that can carry you to kingdoms unknown,
But a brother can carry you home.

So bear me over the sea,
To the green hills of East Tennessee;
Out on the margin of these memorial grounds,
Take my body and lower me down.

Carry me on through the river,
Carry me over the valley floor,
Carry me to the banks of that white western shore;
I'm a child of the Second Great War,
I'm a child of the Second Great War.

When your window's open at night,
Do you hear the furious fight,
Or just the sound of the swallow return to her nest?
That's the sound of what laid me to rest,
That's the sound of what laid me to rest.

Carry me on through the river,
Carry me over the valley floor...

Carry me on through the river,
Carry me over the valley floor,
Carry me to the banks of that white western shore;
I'm a child of the Second Great War,
I'm a child of the Second Great War,
I'm a child of the Second Great War.
