Lyrics

[Hook] Fires burning all around Ashes falling to the ground Someone save me, set me free Smoke settles on my skin Don't play with fire, you'll never win Someone save me, let me breathe [Verse 1] Dear April, I'm reaching out In hope this letter find you fast I know it's been a while Since I done had the chance to write you back But Lord knows I intended to See when I was deployed So soon after I enlisted Shit shifted and been so hectic, boo But I got news for you darling This my last letter It's official As of this morning we gon' be back together I'm finally coming home I can't believe I'm a father And haven't seen my own daughter Bet she's as sweet as her momma But I'm afraid I've got some bad news too Your brother Ray, he's M.I.A We hope to get him back soon too If he's on their side of enemy lines It's better he dies But if the storm settles in time We'll get up the guys and raid this camp Already made the plans So God-willing we gon' find Ray I know that he's alive, babe So just be patient and say your prayers We fill them With all my love, William [Hook] Fires burning all around Ashes falling to the ground Someone save me, set me free Smoke settles on my skin Don't play with fire, you'll never win Someone save me, let me breathe [Verse 2] Dear William I can't believe you're coming home I'm o-so-happy Your daughters growing up so fast She'll get to know her daddy We'll be a family I won't let you go again My heart's lonely and broken I just wanna hold you again But you tell me Ray is missin? Baby, just say it isn't Been prayin' every night Just hopin' that God is listenin' What will we tell his wife? She calls me like every night Asking if I heard from you His kids need him in they life My love, I know you will do what you can So, 'till the day you hold me The nights are lonely, and time moves slowly Just be careful, but find him for me If you're able Your one and only, April [Hook] Fires burning all around Ashes falling to the ground Someone save me, set me free Smoke settles on my skin Don't play with fire, you'll never win Someone save me, let me breathe [Verse 3] Dear April How was my sister and my little niece? I truly hope that we'll meet Cause my world is so incomplete I requested a leave of absence Hope these bastards will grant it Cause these last few weeks Have been so hard You can't imagine I was captured I'm telling you, damn Then I was rescued from an enemy's camp Do you remember that day When William and I Departed from the harbor? And April You said look at our heroes goin' off to war And William and I got upset But we never told you why Cause it's the soldiers that die That are called heroes And I know that William promised you he's coming home [?] But April I've got bad news Please don't hate me But William won't be coming home to you sis' See he was the hero that didn't make it out with the rest He lost his life tryin' to save mine I'm sorry, I'm so sorry Wish I could exchange mine I hope that you forgive me I know that I'm guilty I'm sorry sis' This bullshit war and bullshit cause Someone tell me the purpose of all of this I love and miss you And think about you, everyday Until we meet again Your brother Ray [Hook] Fires burning all around Ashes falling to the ground Someone save me, set me free Smoke settles on my skin Don't play with fire, you'll never win Someone save me, let me breathe
