Out To War

the world has not yet met the peace, when this battle's taking place

the men in their camo, doing us right

loved ones, and strangers doing their best

to keep the world peaceful, they fight

 

for all that is good in the world

they sacrifice by leaving their land behind

we pray for the strength of the courageous

and we give out our all to the ones who have died

 

while our loved ones are over seas serving

we'd love them to be safe and unharmed

although she's away, i'll think of her today

while she lays her pride down, and bears arms.

 

while we await their return from the treacherous journey

families eager and anxious to finally embrace

with their trooper that has been gone for so long

to finally see her face to face

 

they unboard the passengers, dressed head to toe in grey and green

as women men and children jump ut of their seats

cuz we all know, that now she's home

that hole in a families heart, that missing part, is finally complete <3
