Didn't I

Didn't I make ya proud
 Go and lay my life down
 When you called my name
 I thought I stood for somethin'
 Was doin' the right thing
 When I went away
 Now bein' back should be so simple
 But I keep gettin' these big signals
 From everyone
 Why do folks sit and judge me
 Who ain't seen what I've seen
 Or did what I done?
 Didn't I burn
 Didn't I bleed
 Enough
 For you?
 I've faced your fears
 Felt pain
 So you won't have to
 Yeah, didn't I do my best
 And wasn't home here when I left?
 I've seen boys fall to pieces
 Grown men cry out for Jesus
 'Til they're black and blue
 I thought God was on our side
 Weren't we supposed to be the good guys
 That would never lose?
 Cuz' I don't see no ticker, tape
 Or 5-mile parade sayin'
 "Thank you, son"
 Just folks that sit and judge me
 Who ain't seen what I've seen
 Or did What I done
 Didn't I burn
 Didn't I bleed
 Enough
 For you?
 I've faced your fears
 Felt pain
 So you won't have to.
 Yeah, didn't I do my best
 And wasn't home here when I left?
