Lyrics

[SAM HOUSTON] I'm calling to my brothers calling to all soldiers [PETE] I watch women every sunday Tend a row of empty graves Wives of men whose bodies Never left company caves I am one of many boys Hearing heartbeats in the hill I am one of many boys With giant boots to fill Is there something I can do Forced to follow footsteps Something I can do For the man I never knew Watch my brother every morning Somehow got his roles reversed Should be graduating But the company got him first I am one of many boys Feeling trapped before we're trapped I am one of many boys But I'm the first that's snapped Is there something I can do Forced to follow footsteps Something I can do For the man I never knew Grownups speak on your behalf Say I'm more like you with every day But in this crumpled photograph All resemblance fades away Is there something I can do For the man I never knew [SAM HOUSTON] I'm calling to my brothers Calling to all soldiers (Spoken) Attention, men! [PETE] (Spoken) General Sam Houston! It's you! It is an honor to see you sir! [SAM HOUSTON] (Spoken) Time is of the essence. I'm here to plumb this land for any and all brave recruits Who is with me? [PETE] (Spoken) I am! [SAM HOUSTON] (Spoken) Get in line, patriot (Sung) There's a showdown down in texas A mission at a spanish mission Called the alamo The people of this great republic Are looking for a hero I'm calling to my brothers Calling to all soldiers Today you take a stand Save what's yours and mine Preserve that which is sacred Serve and be a hero Save the alamo May the star of texas shine [PETE] (Spoken) Sir, what can I do for the cause? [SAM HOUSTON & PETE] Take down Santa Ana A battle that I (you) cannot battle you'll (I'll) be there at the line [SAM HOUSTON] May your mission at that mission Be to keep it a shrine [SAM HOUSTON & PETE] Keep that land a shrine [PETE] (Spoken) If I blow up that mine, no one can go up there forever [SAM HOUSTON & PETE] I'm calling Calling Calling [PETE] I'm calling to my father Calling to the mountain Today I take a vow I promise to keep I'm going to my father Going to the mountain No man will disturb his deep, deep sleep I am one of many boys And we share a common code I am one of many boys And I'm ready to explode There's gonna be fire There's gonna be noise There's gonna be hell to pay For the burnt part boys
