At least i didn't die by terryline

At least i didn't die I'm going out to war to fight.
My brothers and I are going to do what's right.
The things we saw are to sad for any eyes to see.
I'm bringing back the children, they are weak and need to be cared for. If they shoot, It will be at me.
But heaven knows I'm helping them, I'm bringing back the poor.
Mama always taught me right from wrong.
Daddy told me to be a tough man and to grow up strong.
So here I am fighting like daddy said.
But, here I am thinking with my head.
So I'm also doing what my mama said.
Life don't always go the way you want it to.
So here I am fighting, for what I think is true.
The guns go off and I'm lost and I'm broken, but nobody gives a damn.
Everyone is there for themselves, instead of helping you, everybody ran.
Mama never taught me to be this way.
Daddy says you don't always have to be a hero, if you cry, it's okay.
When you know you did the best that you could, you know you didn't die.
Stand up brave, admit your fears
But at least you didn't lie.
Mama's eyes were watery, I think she's gonna cry.
They know I made it home, I wipe my tears, at least I didn't die.
