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
But 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 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 tarmac
Shes bringin in whats real
She holds our wounded warriors
And flags draped 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
Shell Rise to the sky with grace
There are thousands more just like me
Every-one a volunteer
Were gonna stand up to this hurricane
As long as we are here
|
(REPEAT 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 with the missions
Got to help them keep the faith
They count on me to know the way
Keep their flats on track
Im staying here flying the screens
To make sure they get back
|
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
|
(VERSION-2 POTENTIAL INSTRUMENTAL)
(REPEAT CHORUS)

VERSE4
Ive seen so many heroes today
Some that stood and some that fell
Im hoping that Im helping them
Some-times it hard to tell
I can bandage up whats obvious
I can get em to the lift
Theres nothing more that I can do
The rest will be Gods gift
I can see it in their faces
Its a calm that comes with trust
Its strength its hope its bravery
And I admire them so much
|
(REPEAT CHORUS)
|
ENDING
Ill Know Ive stood the storm
Ill know Ive stood the storm
