I Hope You Never Know

How much do you think that you can help, that man? 
He's searching for the answer at the bottom, of an empty beer can
He sits on the same old corner every day, and he's a hero
Now I know that we have all got our own stories, but don't you talk if you don't know

No do not talk if you do not know where he's been 
You've got no clue for what he's seen, he picked his mate up in a field 
The wounds his mate had never healed
 He felt his mate getting colder, as he carried him on his shoulder

Now when that man closes his eyes, He sees the blood, He hears the cries 
He feels his hand tight on a gun, He doesn't want to fight
He's not allowed to run
He had no choice in being a soldier you had to do what the man told ya 

So don't you talk, as if you know 
The feeling of a tired and a lonely soul
I hope you never know
I hope you never know
I hope you never know

Sixteen years of age and he was thrown, Into his nightmares
To top it off he had to stand and watch, his best mate die there
So don't pretend that you can understand, how that man must feel
That man is the reason that you get your freedom and your hot meals 

So don't you talk, as if you know
The feeling of a tired and a lonely soul
I hope you never know
I hope you never know
I hope you never know
The feeling of a tired and a lonely soul
The feeling of a tired and a lonely soul

I hope you never know
I hope you never know
I hope you never know
I hope you never know
I hope you never know
