Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mama stitched my name into my pack,
Said, "Son, bring yourself right back."
But the sea called louder than her tears,
And I swore I'd quiet all her fears.
Under the flag, I stood so tall,
But the weight of duty makes a man feel small.
[Chorus]
The greatest price is love we leave behind,
A family waiting, a heart intertwined.
The shore I won’t see, the arms I can’t hold,
A sacrifice made, stories untold.
[Verse 2]
Daddy’s tools sit quiet in the shed,
Rust creeping where his hands once bled.
He taught me pride in work, in land,
But I chose to fight on foreign sand.
His voice still echoes in my mind,
"Don’t let the world leave your soul behind."
[Prechorus]
But sometimes the call's too strong to ignore,
A duty that pulls you far from your door.
[Chorus]
The greatest price is love we leave behind,
A family waiting, a heart intertwined.
The shore I won’t see, the arms I can’t hold,
A sacrifice made, stories untold.
[Bridge]
Tell my brother to keep throwing that ball,
Tell my sister her laugh is the best sound of all.
Kiss Mama for me, hold her tight every night,
I’m the shadow that guards you in the dim porch light.
