Is There Anybody Here?
[Verse 1]
Is there anybody here
Who'd like to change his clothes into a uniform?
Is there anybody here
Who thinks they're only serving on a raging storm?
Is there anybody here, glory in his eye
Loyal to the end and whose duty is to die?
[Chorus]
I wanna see him
I wanna wish him luck
I wanna shake his hand
Wanna call his name
Put a medal on the man
[Verse 2]
Is there anybody here
Who'd like to wrap a flag around an early grave?
Is there anybody here
Who thinks they're standing taller on a battlе wave?
Is there anybody hеre who'd like to do his part
Soldier to the world and a bullet to his heart?
[Chorus]
I wanna see him
I wanna wish him luck
I wanna shake his hand
I wanna call your name
Put a medal on the man
[Bridge]
Is there anybody here so proud of the parade
Who'd like to give a cheer and show they're not afraid?
I'd like to ask him what he's trying to defend
I'd like to ask you what you think you're gonna win
[Verse 3]
Is there anybody here
Who thinks that following the orders takes away the blame?
Is there anybody here
Who wouldn't mind a murder by another name?
Is there anybody here whose pride is on the line
With the honor of the brave and the courage of the blind?
[Chorus]
I wanna see him
I wanna wish him luck
I wanna shake your hand
Wanna call your name
Put a medal on the man
[Outro]
Put a medal on the man
Put a medal on the man
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
