My eyes are open wide
By the way, I made it through the day
I watch the world outside
By the way, I'm leaving out today

I just saw Halley's comet, she waved
Said, "Why you always runnin' in place?"
Even the man in the moon disappeared
Somewhere in the stratosphere

Tell my mother, tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize this is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes "Goodbye" is a second chance

Please don't cry one tear for me
I'm not afraid of what I have to say
This is my one and only voice
So listen close, it's only for today

I just saw Halley's comet, she waved
Said, "Why you always runnin' in place?"
Even the man in the moon disappeared
Somewhere in the stratosphere

Tell my mother, tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize this is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes "Goodbye" is a second chance

Here is my chance
This is my chance

Tell my mother, tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize this is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes "Goodbye" is a second chance

Sometimes "Goodbye" is a second chance
Sometimes "Goodbye" is a second chance

    I've never been in the military, so your interpretation has never occured to me. Reading it has moved me to tears, man. Please know that those of us who understand the world differently than a lot of people love you for being one of our nation's warriors and are glad you made it home. God Bless, man.
