[VERSION-3 WORDS AND MUSIC]
|
VERSE1
Wind is blowin strong today -The Sand is everywhere
I Cant see the convoy front -Sometimes its hard to bear
Back in camp shake it off -And the sand falls to the floor
What never falls is the empty feeling -That makes me need you more
I got your picture in my wallet -Its the thing that pulls me through
Ill keep doin my job the best I can
Till I come home to you
|
CHORUS
Im a son A Dad The one you love
Im a man in uniform
When I see those smiling eyes again Ill Know
Ill know Ive stood the storm
|
VERSE2
Theres a C17 rollin up the tarmack -Shes bringin in whats real
She holds our wounded warriors -And flags drapped over steel
So I grab my kit and head on out -The flight line stings my face
Well Turn her around shell head for home -Rise to the sky with grace
There are thousands more just like me -Every-one a volunteer
Were gonna stand up to this hurricane -For as long as we are here
(CHORUS)
|
VERSE3
The end of another 14 hours -Running around the tock
I used to stop at quittin time -But here there aint no clock
Im doing what I can to keep those -Black Hawk pilots running safe
Got to help them plan the missions -Got to help them keep the faith
And today Ive seen so many men -Some that stood and some that fell
Im hoping that Im helping them -Most times it hard to tell
Then I see it in their faces -Its a calm that comes with trust
Its a hope a strength a bravery -I admire them so much
(CHORUS)
