lyrics

Will I hold my ground
will I hold my ground
will I hold my ground
at Shiloh

am I honor bound
am I honor bound
am I honor bound
at Shiloh

Is my love enough
to keep me from the bluff
but if it brings me home
my fear will I own
at Shiloh

Can you hear me still
can you hear me still
can you hear me still
from Shiloh

When I whisper your name
when I whisper your name
when I whisper your name
from Shiloh

is duty and honor bound
to staying above the ground
or will I die right here
while others thump and cheer
at Shiloh

they say the word means "place of peace"
well I don't know 'bout that
I seen the elephant the first time
then laid myself down flat

Don't want to see no more
don't want to see no more
don't want to see no more
at Shiloh

had enough of war
had enough of war
had enough or war
at Shiloh

All I want is home
and some fields to roam
untouched by what I've seen
running through that stream
at Shioh

oh the men who sent me here
sit safely far away
with big words they describe it all
praise the Lord and live another day
at Shiloh
