Lyrics from Letters home from the garden of stone

The people in Washington need to read these lyrics;
Everlast - Letters Home From The Garden Of Stone. Written by Keith Ciancia and Eric Schrody.  This is what our men and women in combat really go through...something the current administration just can't seem to grasp. Please take care of our Veterans.    God Bless Our Troops!
                                              
 I know I'm gettin' ready to kill
 They say we're goin' in with the daylight
 Ma I don't want to but I will
'Cause I don't know the man that kills me
 And I don't know these men I kill
 I pray to God for my salvation
 Wash away the blood I spilled
I try not to think about my family
 'Cause it's a little too much to take
 Out here I got me and I got my buddy
 We can't afford even one mistake
Sorry about writin' on dirty cardboard
 It's the only paper that I could find
 Tell everyone I got their letters
 Tell everyone I'm doin' fine
Late at night when I can dream, Ma
 I think about life back in the world
 I miss you and Dad, I miss sister Sarah
 I miss my wife and my baby girl
Pray for me, pray for my soul, Ma
 Pray for me and all my sins
 They say that I got a job to do now
 And I'll be back when it finally ends
Do you think I should be fighting?
 Ma are you proud, are you ashamed
 Really I'm tryin' to do the right thing
 I hope my government can say the same
'Cause I won't know the man that kills me
 And I don't know these men I kill
 We all wind up on the same side
 'Cause ain't none of us doin' God's will
