I am the walking wounded,
The world is on my shoulders.
They crumble 'neath the weight
And everything is growing colder.

I am the walking wounded,
I'll take the bruises for you
My feet are swollen from the
Marching that I have to do.

I am the walking wounded,
My skin is burning, bleeding.
This agent orange is a pill that
I can't keep from eating.

I am the walking wounded,
I hide in shadow's safety
To keep the angel's hands from
Leaving heaven's post to take me.

And I'll pull the bullets from your eyes…
I'll breath into you new life,
Or carry your bodies down…
We are the walking wounded.

We are the walking wounded,
We're like the living dead.
We hear the armies coming -
Fight the demons in our heads.

We are the walking wounded,
We're shaped by fangs and claws.
We take no breath for granted
Fight to keep alive the cause.

And I'll pull the bullets from your eyes…
I'll breath into you new life,
Or carry your bodies down…
We are the walking wounded.

{Instrumental}

I am the walking wounded
I've seen a comrade die
I hope to Jesus they still
Fight the battles in the sky.

And I'll pull the bullets from your eyes…
I'll breath into you new life,
Or carry your bodies down…
We are the walking wounded.
