Verse 1 (Slow, Emotional)
They came knockin’ on that old front door,
Mama fell down right there on the floor.
Daddy bowed his head, too proud to cry,
Brother clenched his fist and asked God why.
Pre-Chorus (Build)
But somewhere beyond that battlefield’s flame,
A soldier prayed and whispered her name.
Chorus (Soaring, Emotional)
🎶 On the wings of a soldier, he’s still around,
In the rustle of the leaves, in the small-town sound.
Though the good Lord called him, love don’t die,
He’s her guardian angel in a Tennessee sky. 🎶
Verse 2 (Slow, Reflective)
She still wears that band of gold,
Talks to his picture when the nights get cold.
Drives his truck just to feel him near,
Every mile she swears she can hear.
Pre-Chorus (Build)
That promise he made in the heat of the fight,
“I’ll be with you, girl, every day, every night.”
Chorus (Soaring, Emotional)
🎶 On the wings of a soldier, he’s still around,
In the rustle of the leaves, in the small-town sound.
Though the good Lord called him, love don’t die,
He’s her guardian angel in a Tennessee sky. 🎶
Bridge (Lift)
Ohhh, he’s the whisper in the wind, the shadow by her side,
Ohhh, the strength in her heart when she wants to hide.
Final Chorus (Big, Anthem)
🎶 On the wings of a soldier, he’s still around,
In the rustle of the leaves, in the small-town sound.
Though the good Lord called him, love don’t die,
He’s her guardian angel in a Tennessee sky.
Yeah, her guardian angel in a Tennessee sky. 🎶
