Two Lights

What is courage? Is it brave? What are lions? I've only seen them in parades How is love supposed to read? In a footnote of history What's a tap on your shoulder? That you're afraid to look over A soldier's down in a fire fight No one can look me in the eye This is what it means to be alone Tear out my heart, feed it to lions Oh, for this one wish I beg you this tonight Show me no mercy but spare me my pride Oh, I'm going for a drive And if you find out he's coming home When I come around the corner I'll know that it's alright Just leave me two lights He was young just 23, didn't have to go But it was the man he wanted to be Like every son he was an only one And one day he came to me, said '€œFreedom's nothing to look over Till each man can stand upon its shoulder I'll right you mountains of letters Each one a little bit better And know I'll never be alone Tear out my heart, feed it to lions Oh, for this one wish I beg you this tonight Show me no mercy but spare me my pride Oh, I'm going for a drive And if you find out he's coming home When I come around the corner I'll know that it's alright Just leave me two lights Silent angels light the road up ahead As the sentries guard the way On the avenue of borrowed time I'm almost home, the sun's to rise I got to know, I've been driving all the night There's our corner up ahead I'm alive and I am dead I drive right through the stop sign I turn my head as I lift my eyes My eyes burn Tear out my heart, feed it to lions For this one wish I beg you this tonight Show me no mercy, spare me my pride I'm going for a drive
