Breathe Tonight

I know tonight
I will wake up again
To something so subtle 
And reach for you hand

Under the darkness
And deep in the sheets
Theres only one thing
One heart only beats

One breath only breathes
One dream only drempt
To not have you there 
Is to be held in contempt 

Contempt with my heart
On what needs to be
And that thing is 
You next to me

With heart beats and breathing
Hands made as one
A dream meant forever
O god here the sun

Hawaii Goodbye

When past is present 
And tomorrows today 
How do we know
To live every day? 

Because if the sunsets 
Then it arise
Through many different 
Colorful skies 

I can’t tell the difference 
Because I’m not that smart 
The only thing that gets it 
Well that is my heart

It knows where to be 
It knows what to say 
And it’s only this happy 
When you’re not away

Air Assault Infantry

The mission is crazy
Will we come out alive? 
The movements are dangerous 
Load up lets go

Hop in the back 
Gear ready to go
Put down your nods
That’s when you show

You can’t be stopped 
You can’t be beat 
Tonight’s the night 
Where no match you’ll meet

Infantry does it 
When no one else can
We all go in
Every time with a plan

We take out our target
We index our men
Takeoff in the air
Then get ready again

Korean Princess

There was a boy  
Yes and he loved a girl 
Just like the moment
It all was a whirl

He thought her so pretty 
Perfect you see 
But just like all endings
There’s a story

Was it love at first sight? 
Some might do say 
But well in the hours 
Soon closes day 

The moon was rising
And stars did shine
But sleep o sleep 
The poor princess whines

So he scooped her up
And took her in tight
Almost together 
Every night 

A smile a cheer 
Till the days seemed shorter
My o my 
Did they want them longer 

But this is the part
That you must look
It wasn’t this story 
That made a book

In a cold December
On a colder day
There was a problem 
That came this way

As much as they loved 
They knew from the start 
There would be a moment 
Where they’d have to part

So they laughed they loved 
But all is not true 
But what really is 
Is I’ll always love you

First

The nights are colder
Than they normally are
The streets are empty
Not even a car

As I walked you home 
Peaceful and fun 
But one more question
That’s never done

Why did I see you?
All of the time 
What made me come?
Are you out of your mind?

I simply smile
And look in your eyes
Questions aren’t just
Who what and whys

Questions are things
That time cannot make
Time is not something
That we need to take

So the answer my dear
To the questions you say
Is the reason I smile
On this very day

Soldier

There is a soldier 
Who’s willing to fight
This is the soldier
Who goes through the night

Who puts on a battle 
Inside and out
That keeps it all in
When others would start

He does what he’s told 
Wrong or right
But there’s something different
That’s in his sight

It’s in his mind it’s in his heart
She’s as pretty as 
She is smart

She is golden
Pure as can be
I thank God
He sent her for me

With out her I don’t know
What I would do
Because with her 
Soon follows you

Into my arms 
And I shed a tear
Because I love my family
A reason I’m here

I snap back
And look through my scope
Thank God for my country
It gives me some hope

A hope for life
That I can hold
Here we go love
I’m truly sold

Soldier 24/7

I'll be your soldier 
When the sun goes down
I'll be the one 
To keep you safe in this town

I'll give you my word 
No harm will come
Not til I'm gone
Not til I'm done

My word is my honor 
And my honors my life
To enemies I will send 
A deadly strike

So I beg for a chance
To shed some light on what you cant see
Juliet take this dare
One dance with me .

At Port

This little jingle 
Is sort of a spell
Like old Saint. Nick 
What a story to tell

This isn’t happy
But in a way
Love is strange
Many will say

He stepped in a world 
That took them apart
Together they stay
Cause she has his heart

Before all this started
So he can provide
He only did it
So they can survive

But here it is
Which started it all
The look in her eyes 
Which made him fall

Head over heels 
Deeply in love 
She is the angel 
That came from above

The hardest thing 
About saying goodbye 
Was watching you walk
Right out of my sight

Blind

Just because heaven 
Shed me some light
That doesn’t mean 
I can see at night

By night I mean darkness
It blinds worse than the day
I can’t see a thing
Please show me the way 

I trip I stumble 
And I even fall
I wait for your voice 
To hear your call

In shines some light
And what I can see 
Is that you are as blind 
As blind as me

Real

If this is true 
And something not 
I want to know
All I forgot

What I’ve seen
And what I’ve heard
Everything.
Its all absurd 

I want to know 
What I’ve done wrong 
What I’ve done right
If I make your day
As well as night

I need to know 
How you feel 
And if that feeling 
Is really real
 
All I want
through and through
And forever 
Is to be with you
