[Intro]
Bright and early, out the door, another day begins
Saluting all my hopes and fears, I gear up for the fight within
[Verse 1]
Sunrise paints the sky, I lace my boots real tight
Mama's kiss goodbye as I step into the night
Two little angels wait, keep my family in my mind
Dream of home and love, that's what keeps me fighting on the line
[Pre-Chorus]
Long hours in the sun, no time to rest or complain
Living on the edge, risking all, for their future and my name
[Chorus]
I put on this uniform, wear it like a shield of pride
Fight for freedom, for my family, keep them safe on the other side
Late nights and shadows fall, but I gotta stand tall
Just to see their smiling faces, I risk it all, I risk it all
[Verse 2]
Kids grow up so fast, I miss their soft goodnight
Dream of holding them close, when I close my weary eyes
Even when I’m worn and tired, I think of that day
When I can leave the fighting, and finally find my way
[Pre-Chorus]
Battles in my mind, but I push the pain aside
To protect what’s mine, I’ll go through fire, I’ll run the longest stride
[Chorus]
I put on this uniform, wear it like a shield of pride
Fight for freedom, for my family, keep them safe on the other side
Late nights and shadows fall, but I gotta stand tall
Just to see their smiling faces, I risk it all, I risk it all
[Bridge]
Sometimes I come home silent, past the midnight hour
House is quiet, dreams are calling, but I’ve still got this power
To keep them free and safe, no matter what the cost
Living a life so brave, I’ll never count the loss
[Outro]
Bright and early, I rise again, to do what’s right
For my wife and children, I’ll keep fighting through the night
When the war is over, I’ll finally lay this burden down
Until then I wear my fight, for the love of those I’ve bound
