Bon Jovi – Unbroken

Bon Jovi – Unbroken Lyrics

Artist: Bon Jovi
Song: Unbroken

I was born to be of service
Camp Lejeune just felt like home
I had honor, I found purpose
“Sir, yes, sir,” that’s what I know

They sent us to a place
I never heard of weeks before
When you’re nineteen, it ain’t hard to sleep
In the desert on God’s floor

Close your eyes, stop counting sheep
You ain’t in boot camp anymore
We were taught to shoot our rifles
Then in one, then side by side

Thought we’d be made as liberators
In a thousand-year-old fight
I got this painful ringing in my ear
From an IED last night

But no lead-lined Humvee war machine
Could save my sergeant’s life
Three more soldiers, six civilians
Need these words to come out right

God of mercy, God of light
Save your children from this life
Here these words, this humble plea
For I have seen the suffering

And with this prayer, I’m hopin’
That we can be unbroken
It’s eighteen months now, I’ve been stateside
With this medal on my chest

But there are things I can’t remember
And there are things I won’t forget
I lie awake at night
With dreams that devils shouldn’t see

I wanna scream, but I can’t breathe
And Christ, I’m sweatin’ through these sheets
Where’s my brothers? Where’s my country?
Where’s my “how things used to be”?

God of mercy, God of light
Save your children from this life
Here these words, this humble plea
For I have seen the suffering

And with this prayer, I’m hopin’
That we can be unbroken
My service dog’s done more for me
Than the medication would

There ain’t no angel that’s comin’ to save me
But even if they could
Today, twenty-two will die from suicide
Just like yesterday, they’re gone

I live my life for each tomorrow
So their memories will live on
Once we were boys, and we were strangers
Now we’re brothers and we’re men

Someday, you’ll ask me, “Was it worth it
To be of service in the end?”
Well, the blessing and the curses
Yeah, I’d do it all again

Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh

Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh, yeah
