Around World and Back
Around World and Back
On face, still can see the obvious scar
From being a person who is so bazaar
Other than that, no bodily harm was done
Never lost control or around was spun.
Is often difficult to face certain things
And all the pain and suffering it brings
After a final analysis they have found
Me on the ground both safe and sound.
Looked into future and started to see
That if it hadn't been for you and me
They must make another confession
You can become confused by an obsession.
It was being up in the air forever flying
To see me out of curiosity people were dying
For me to come back wife kept on demanding
So I returned after having a safe landing.
Am a true veteran and can tell by bars I wear
Which forever at people seem to sit and stare
Funny as this may sound, I even had to pedal
Around world and back to receive each medal.
