Dropkick Murphys - The Last Letter Home lyrics

Hello there my dearest love Today I write to you about our sons The boys start school today They're the spitting image of you in every way Hey son it's Dad I hope this letter finds you well out of harm's way We saw the news today it frightened your Mom Now all she does is pray [Chorus:] If I lead will you follow? Will you follow if I lead? Hey Melissa it's me don't be afraid I'm in good hands I'm gonna be home soon It's time to watch the children grow up I wanna be more than a voice on the phone Thanks Ma I got your package today I love "The Fields Of Athenry" I swear I want 'em to play that song on the pipes At my funeral when I die [Chorus] I stand alone in the distance And the foreground slowly moves [Chorus] "We regret to inform you that on January 28th Sgt. Andrew Farrar died while serving his country in the Al-Anbar province of Iraq words cannot convey our sorrow" [Chorus] When there's nothing on the horizon You've got nothing left to prove If I lead will you follow?
