as i sit at my position, aiming at the enemy, will you understand
when the trigger is pulled, and the target has fallen, will you understand
i am here in this GOD forsaken place to protect you from the evil of this world
i chose be here because i love my country, and will do everything i can
to resolve the problem at hand.

do not judge me when i return home, battered and torn
my body and mind has been to hell and back
but i am home safe and sound.

accept me for who i am now for the changes are forever
but the love for you and my country will never waiver
those who have fallen around me, i'll keep forever in my mind
brothers forever a bond that will never be broken
i will see them when its my time to go
and we will unite in GOD'S heaven.

GOD BLESS AMERICA, PEACE FOR THE WORLD
