[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 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
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)
