Sitting in a crowded plane
Yet feeling alone...
Thinking of days gone by
Wishing I was home...
Bound for a foreign land
Not knowing what will be...
Praying to come home
You'll be so proud of me...
I dont do it for the money
That stuff dont mean a thing...
I do it for the freedom
Thats what this uniform brings...
So stand proud and tall
When that flag begins to fly...
Shed a tear for those families
That had to say goodbye
Their loved ones paid the price
To keep our nation free...
They are American soldiers
Thats what they chose to be...
Always remember
in your prays late at night...
Your brothers and your sisters
As they continue to fight the fight...
For over 200 years
We've been fighting for this land...
While many have protested
Thousands have lend a helping hand...
Even back at home
People have asked me how and why...
Why are we doing this?
How can you consider yourself a guy?
To those people I turn
And look the other way...
To those people who love us
And support us every day...
To my family and friends
And those who stand by my side...
I give you nothing but love
Honor, freedom and pride...
Always believe
In what we do is true...
Never lose faith
In the red, white and blue...
Yet feeling alone...
Thinking of days gone by
Wishing I was home...
Bound for a foreign land
Not knowing what will be...
Praying to come home
You'll be so proud of me...
I dont do it for the money
