Veterans Day — текст песни (Admiral Twin)

The doctor said with joy: "a healthy baby boy"

October 4th of 1925



His parents had a plan

Hed live a better life

Be a man of means

Who knows, he might go really far



And then the days slipped by

And turned into years

And many pages turned in the story of his life



Took a detour through a war

Cast a shadow across his soul

October 4th of 1944



Stories he would never tell

So he had to write them down to keep them captive

On veterans day he pulls them out

Its a cleansing of the soul

And a freeing of his mind



He didnt change the world

But he eventually met a girl

Their child would be his only legacy



And so he cried to god

"its not what I had planned!

And theres one more thing Ill never understand:



How did the days slip by

When did they turn into years? "

How many pages did you get for the story of your life?



Call it what you will

Name it tragedy

But in the end he just looks back and smiles

Its just his life
