Written by - Anthony Smith Didn't I From - We Were Soldiers (Soundtrack) Didn't I make you proud Go and lay my life down... When you called my name I thought I stood for somethin' Was doin' the right thing When I went away Now bein' back should be so simple But I keep gettin' these mixed signals... From everyone Why do folks sit in judgment Who ain't seen what I've seen Or did what I done Didn't I burn... Didn't I bleed... Enough...for you I faced...your fears... Felt pain... So you won't have to Yeah, didn't I do my best And wasn't home here when I left I've seen boys fall to pieces Grown men cry out for Jesus... 'Til they're black and blue I thought God was on our side Weren't we supposed to be the good guys That would never lose 'Cause I don't see no ticker tape Or five mile parade... Sayin', 'Thank you, son' Just folks that sit in judgment Who ain't seen what I've seen Or did what I done Didn't I burn... Didn't I bleed... Enough...for you I faced...your fears... Felt pain... So you won't have to Yeah, didn't I do my best And wasn't home here when I left |
