I live on borrowed time

<b>I Live on Borrowed Time</b>


I live on borrowed time,

Today was not mine, nor was yesterday.



I gave the Army four years of my life,

To do with as they please.



I choose not where I live,

Nor how long I'll stay.



I live on borrowed time,

Few will ever understand.



Eleven months I spent from home sleeping in a tent.

Each day, fighting for others sake.



The Sun, the dust, the rockets and mortars each and every day,

All we did was hope and pray to keep going another day.



I live on borrowed time.

Today was not mine, and neither will be tomorrow.



I did not want to go, I did as I was told.

Now they say it was a mistake.



Four months I have been back, four less I get to stay.

Eleven more months I will have, till we say goodbye again.



I live on borrowed,

I wish it could be mine.
