Twenty-Two

[Verse] Gunslinger days have faded away Twenty-two souls lost today Dust of Iraq and burn pits remain Brothers in pain feel the strain [Verse 2] Ghosts of the past won't let them rest Empty bottles constant test Nightmares linger fightin' the dark Silent cries from a heavy heart [Chorus] Reach out brother over the line Hands to hold in desperate times We're all here we'll stand together Through the storm and through the weather [Verse 3] Battle scars within their minds Tangled thoughts they can't unwind Families mourn tears on their face Hopes and prayers can't fill the space [Bridge] Whispers fade in the desert night Hold on tight to the fading light Whispers fade in the desert night Hold on tight to the fading light [Chorus] Reach out brother over the line Hands to hold in desperate times We're all here we'll stand together Through the storm and through the weather
