Quietly fall to pieces

Sometimes I think I'm at the end of the world
Far away from the rest of my family, far away from the woman I love
Looking out at the flag pole as the colors come unfurled
No blood of my fallen fathers, no stars in the sky above

Strangers surround me with a language I don't know
If I can stay here too much longer, must be some place I can go
Million miles, could it be less?
Leaves me speechless, so I quietly fall to pieces

Last night I thought it was the very end of time
I couldn't last any longer, I couldn't take one more turn
Then off in a church somewhere the bells began to chime
Playing some song about Jesus, Oh, I felt the power return

Strangers surround me with a language I don't know
If they were conscious of the feeling, but the love began to show
Million smiles, could it be less?
Leaves me speechless, so I quietly fall to pieces

I remember now, I remember that feeling
I remember now, I remember that song
I remember now, I remember those places
I remember, has it really been that long?

I remember now, I remember those people
I remember now, I remember that song
I remember now, I remember their faces
I remember, has it really been that long?

Has it really been that long?
