Last Letter Home Lyrics - The Warrior's Code - Dropkick Murphys

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 

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 

As 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 sadness." 

Chorus 

When there's nothing on the horizon 

You've got nothing left to prove 

If I lead, will you follow?
