Through My Eyes
For all of the free people who still make a fuss
We protect you, you're safe cause of us
Your voice is strong as well as loud
Heard by all, especially this crowd
We are your friends, your daughters, and sons
Wearing the boots and carrying guns
We are the ones that leave all we know
To ensure that your future is set in stone
We are the ones who fight and die
We can't save the world, but at least we try
We took our paths to where we're at
We know no other life than that
So when you gather your friends to complain
Remember we see all the death and pain
In order to fly the flag that you love
Realize that we are a gift from above
Some battles be fought and young lives must be lost
Please understand that is the ultimate cost
When you remember all the bad things
Remember to see what this battle brings
We came here to fight for the ones we hold dear
Most never wish that we were not here
Yet we have to hide what we think and don't say
While you often smile, because things went your way
When this conflict is over and we're back from hell
We will be home and have stories to tell
I understand where you're coming from
But please comprehend that we chose to come
So when you start to scream and complain
Remember my words and what they contain
I am a soldier, no need for my name
I'm no different than you, I'm just not afraid to play the game
