Get Em All Home
Journey to Redemption: Chuck Ragan's Anthem for Bravery and Brotherhood
Lyrics
Put me on a ship, put me on a plain
Expressing a willingness to go anywhere, by ship or plane.
'Cause lord, I'm on my way to the land of the lost and insane
Heading towards a place that is chaotic and mentally challenging.
Well I don't know my way, but I will know my cause
Uncertain about the path but determined about the purpose.
All I can do is pray that the world will see what this war cost
Hoping that the world will recognize the true cost of war.
I'm on my way
Continuing the journey despite challenges.
Feet don't fail me now
Urging feet not to fail in the face of adversity.
'Cause my brothers lay
Referring to comrades who have fallen in battle.
In the dirt all around
Highlighting the harsh reality of casualties surrounding.
Get 'em all home
An appeal to bring all soldiers back home.
Ain't no sense in crying, maybe in dying
Suggesting resilience in the face of hardship, avoiding despair.
'Cause hell on earth has a way of finding the weakness in town
Describing the destructive nature of war affecting vulnerable places.
Gotta keep this head high, gotta fight a good fight
Emphasizing the need to maintain a positive spirit and fight bravely.
Even when I lay low in the night to find rest the last minutes of life
Finding solace even in difficult times for a brief respite.
And I'm on my way
Continuing the journey with determination.
Feet don't fail me now
Reiterating the plea for perseverance despite challenges.
'Cause my brothers lay
Reference to fallen comrades in the soil.
In the dirt all around
Reaffirming the grim reality of casualties.
God rest these souls
A prayer for the souls of the departed.
Get this one home
Specifically hoping to bring one soul back home.
Where the sun sets slow
Imagining a peaceful place where the day ends slowly.
And the ocean is calm
Describing a serene setting with a calm ocean.
Get 'em all home
Reiterating the plea to bring all soldiers back home.
Get 'em all home
Repeatedly emphasizing the urgent need to bring all soldiers home.
Get 'em all home
-Get 'em all home
-Get 'em all home
-Get 'em all home
-Get 'em all home
-Get us all home
Extending the plea to bring everyone, including oneself, back home.
