Lyrics

I Couldn't Do It Beth Wimmer c2008

Sometimes I think i should trade in my life
give up my dreams for a cause much greater than this
I don't know but maybe the soldiers that go
got more Passion in their toes than i have in my finest Kiss

I wanna know... how it feels for you
to give up your rights... and fight where they tell you to

Chorus:
But I Couldn't Do It
do what you done
it takes crazy courage
it takes brave Blood

I can't imagine fighting in war
i got my causes but only one of them worth dying for
we're all the same but we change at the core
i guess it depends on the ends of the Earth you were born

I wanna know... how it feels for you
to give up your rights... and kill who they tell you to

Chorus:
But I Couldn't Do It
do what you done
it takes crazy courage
it takes brave blood

I Couldn't Do It
kill with a gun
you couldn't count on me
i'd turn and run

I wanna know... how it feels for you
to give up your Life... and die when they tell you to

Chorus:
But I Couldn't Do It
do what you done
it takes crazy courage
it takes brave blood

I Couldn't Do It
kill with a gun
you couldn't count on me
i'd turn and run
