Volta da Guerra

To defend your country
A young man enlisted
The dream of providing comfort
For the family he left
Full of hope
Determined he arrived
He didn't know the surprise
That destiny had in store

His first step
Was failure
He fell into the trap
Of sad pain

On the soldier's path
There was a big quarry
A war was starting
In his first fight
Wherever he went
There was a barrier
He escaped one trap
Fell into a trench

Bomb and cannon
Act, heart
And the feeling
Of certain death

He left the minefields
After winning the war
And earned honor
Upon returning to his land
He called his family
Because a good son doesn't fail
Dad, I'm coming back
I fought and defeated the beast

I want shelter
For a friend
Who goes with me
Sir, wait for me

Dad, this friend of mine
Is missing a leg and an arm
He needs our help
To change his steps
His father replied
I don't want to see that man
He'll change our routine
Leave him, let him disappear

The realization hit
No one said goodbye
And the voice disappeared
From your phone

A few days later
Your phone rang
Your son had jumped
From a building and committed suicide
When the old man got close
He almost fainted
He noticed the missing arm and leg

''He was a mutilated
He was the soldier
Your beloved son
Who called you''
