Lyrics
Oh, Anna won’t you find your way back home to me?

Glory, Anna won’t you find your way? I am on my knees

I lived my life like a rabid dog
Describing a wild and unrestrained lifestyle.
With a rage bound up like a loaded gun
Portraying inner turmoil and potential danger with a loaded gun metaphor.
I lived a cretin life, no one could love
Admitting to a life lacking virtue and love.
Oh, Anna but you showed me love

But when the war came ‘round, you said you had to go

To heal their wounds. I knew you’d heal their souls
