I hear people saying we don't need this war
I say there's
some things worth fighting for
What about our freedom and this piece of ground?
We didn't get to keep 'em by backing down
They say we
don't realize the mess we're getting in
Before you start preaching
Let me ask you this my friend
Have you forgotten how it felt that day
To see your
homeland under fire
And her people blown away?
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside
Going through a living hell
And you say we shouldn't worry
'bout Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
They took all the footage off my T.V.
Said it's too disturbing
for you and me
It'll just breed anger that's what the experts say
If it was up to me I'd show it every day
Some say this
country's just out looking for a fight
After 9/11 man I'd have to say that's right
Have you forgotten how it felt that day
To see your homeland
under fire
And her people blown away?
Have
you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside
Going through a living hell
And you say we shouldn't
worry 'bout Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
I've been there with the soldiers
Who've gone away to war
And you can bet they remember
Just what they're fighting
for
Have you forgotten all the people killed?
Some went down
like heroes in that Pennsylvania
field
Have you forgotten about our Pentagon?
All
the loved ones that we lost
And those left to carry on
Don't you tell me not to worry about Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
~Have You Forgotten~
Dear son, it's almost June
I hope this letter catches up
with you
And finds you well
It's been dry
But they're callin' for rain
Everything's the same old same
In
Johnsonville
Your stubborn old daddy
Ain't said too much
But I'm sure you know
He sends his love
And
she goes on...
In a letter from home
I hold it up and show my buddies
Like we ain't scared
And our boots
ain't muddy
And they all laugh
Like there's something funny
'Bout the way I talk
When I say, "Mamma sends
her best, ya'll"
I fold it up and put it in my shirt
Pick up my gun and get back to work
And it keeps me drivin'
on
Waitin' on letters from home
My dearest love, it's almost dawn
I've been lyin' here all night long
Wonderin'
where you might be
I saw your mamma
And I showed her the ring
Man on the television
Said something
So
I couldn't sleep
But I'll be alright,
I'm just missin' you
And this is me kissin' you
X's and O's in a letter
from home
I hold it up and show my buddies
Like we ain't scared
And our boots ain't muddy
And they all
laugh
'Cause she calls me honey,
But they take it hard
'Cause I don't read the good parts
I fold it up
and put it in my shirt
Pick up my gun and get back to work
And it keeps me drivin' on
Waitin' on letters from
home
Dear son, I know I ain't written
Sittin' here tonight alone in the kitchen
It occurs to me
I might
not have said it
So I'll say it now...
"Son, You make me proud"
I hold it up and show my buddies
Like
we ain't scared
And our boots ain't muddy
But no one laughs
'Cause there's ain't nothin' funny
When a soldier
cries
And I just wipe my eyes
I fold it up and put it in my shirt
Pick up my gun and get back to work
And
it keeps me drivin' on
Waitin' on letters from home
~Letters From Home~
I'm
just trying to be a father,
Raise a daughter and a son,
Be a lover
to their mother,
Everything to everyone.
Up and at 'em bright and early,
I'm
all in my business suit,
Yeah, I'm dressed for success
from my head down to my boots,
I don't
do it for money,
there's still bills that I can't pay,
I don't do it for the glory,
I just
do it anyway,
Providing for our future's my responsibility
Yeah I'm real good under pressure,
being
all that I can be,
And I can't call in sick on Mondays
when the weekends been too strong,
I
just work straight through the holidays,
And sometimes all night
long.
You can bet that I stand ready
when the wolf growls at the door,
Hey,
I'm solid, hey I'm steady,
hey I'm true down to the core,
And I will always do my duty,
no matter
what the price,
I've counted up the cost,
I know the sacrifice,
Oh, and I
don't want to die for you,
But if dyin's asked of me,
I'll bear that cross with an honor,
'Cause
freedom don't come free.
I'm an american soldier, an american,
Beside my brothers and my sisters
I
will proudly take a stand,
When liberty's in jeopardy
I will always do what's right,
I'm
out here on the front lines,
sleep in peace tonight.
American soldier, I'm an American,
An
American,
An
American Soldier
~American
Soldier~
Last night I had a crazy dream
A wish was granted just for me
It could be for anything
I
didn't ask for money
Or a mansion in Malibu
I simply wished for one more day with you!
One more day, one more
time
One more sunset, maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again, I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still for one
more day with you
One more day...
First thing I'd do is pray for time to crawl
I'd unplug the telephone and keep
the TV off
I'd hold you every second
Say a million "I Love You's"
That's what I'd do with one more day with you
One
more day, one more time
One more sunset maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again I know what it would do
Leave me wishing
still for one more day with you
One more day, one more time
One more sunset maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again
I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still for one more day
Leave me wishing still for one more day
Leave me
wishing still for one more day with you
~One More Day~
There are times
I swear I know you're here
When I forget about my fears
Feeling you my dear
Watchin over me
And my hope seeks
What the future will bring
When you wrap me in your
wings
And take me:
Where you are
Where you and I will breathe together
Once
again
We'll be dancing in the moonlight
Just
like we used to do
And you'll be smilin back at me
Only then will I be free
When I can be
Where you are
And I can see your face
Your kiss I still can taste
Not a memory erased
Oh, I see your star
Shining down on me
And I'd do anything
If I could just
Be right there:
Then I will be free
So take me where you are
Now baby there were times when selfishly
I'm wishing that you are here with me
So I can wipe
the tears away from your eyes
And make you see
That every night while you are dreamin
I'm here to guard you from a far
And anytime I feel alone
I close my
eyes and just be there:
Where you are
Where
you and I can breathe together
(and we will breathe together baby)
Once again (oh, we'll be dancing in the moonlight)
We'll
be dancin in the moonlight
Just like we used to be
And you'll be smilin back at me
(only then will I be free)
Then I will be free
Baby I still believe
Oh I've got to believe
I will touch you that sweet
day
That you take me there Where you are
I still believe
Oh I've got to believe
I will touch you that sweet day
That you take me there
Where you are
Oh where you are
I've got to believe
I'll always be waiting here
That sweet day yeah
Only wanna be where you are
I still believe
~Where You Are~
Got a picture of you I carry in my heart
Close
my eyes to see it when the world gets dark
Got a memory of you I carry in my soul
I wrap it close around me when the
nights get cold
If you asked me how I'm doin' I'd say just fine
But the truth is baby, if you could read my mind
Not
a day goes by that I don't think of you
After all this time you're still with me it's true
Somehow you remain locked
so deep inside
Baby, baby, oh baby, not a day goes by
I still wait for the phone in the middle of the night
Thinkin'
you might call me if your dreams don't turn out right
And it still amazes me that I lie here in the dark
Wishin' you
were next to me, your head against my heart
If you asked me how I'm doing I'd say just fine
But the truth is baby, if
you could read my mind
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you
After all this time you're still with me it's
true
Somehow you remain locked so deep inside
Baby, baby, oh baby, not a day goes by
Minutes turn to hours, and
the hours to days
Seems it's been forever that I've felt this way
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you
After
all this time you're still with me it's true
Somehow you remain locked so deep inside
Baby, baby, oh baby, not a day
goes by
~Not
A Day Goes By~
Every time our eyes meet
This feeling inside me
Is
almost more than I can take
Baby when you touch me
I can feel how much you love me
And it just blows me away
I've
never been this close to anyone or anything
I can hear your thoughts
I can see your dreams
I don't know how you
do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you
by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you
The smell of your skin
The
taste of your kiss
The way you whisper in the dark
Your hair all around me
Baby you surround me
You touch every
place in my heart
Oh it feels like the first time every time
I wanna spend the whole night in your eyes
I don't
know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With
you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you
Every little thing that
you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever
and ever
Every little thing that you do
Oh, every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you
~Amazed~
Two days past eighteen
He was waiting for the bus
in his army green
Sat down in a booth in a cafe there
Gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair
He's a little
shy so she gives him a smile
And he said would you mind sittin' down for a while
And talking to me,
I'm feeling a
little low
She said I'm off in an hour and I know where we can go
So they went down and they sat on the pier
He said
I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care
I got no one to send a letter to
Would you mind if I sent one back here to
you
I cried
Never gonna hold the hand of another
guy
Too young for him they told her
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
Over love will never end
Waitin'
for the soldier to come back again
Never more to be alone when the letter said
A soldier's coming home
So the letters came from an army camp
In California
then Vietnam
And he told her of his heart
It might be love and all of the things he was so scared of
He said when
it's getting kinda rough over here
I think of that day sittin' down at the pier
And I close my eyes and see your pretty
smile
Don't worry but I won't be able to write for awhile
One Friday night at a football game
The Lord's Prayer
said and the Anthem sang
A man said folks would you bow your heads
For a list of local Vietnam dead
Crying all alone
under the stands
Was a piccolo player in the marching band
And one name read and nobody really cared
But a pretty
little girl with a bow in her hair
~Travelin' Soldier~
All I want is somebody who's gonna love me for me
Somebody
I can love for them
All this money don't mean shit
If you ain't got nobody to share it with
Love rules the world,
you feel me
He don't understand you like I do
No he'll never make love to you like I do
So give it to me
Cause
I can show you 'bout a real love
And I can promise anything that I do
Is just to satisfy you
When it hurt I ease
the pain girl, caress your frame
Get them worries off your brain girl, I'm in your corner
Do what you want, it's your
thing girl, I persist and try but
We one in the same girl, it ain't a game
So I can't play with you, I wanna lay with
you
Stay with you, pray with you, grow old and gray with you
In good and bad times, we'll always make it through
Cause
what we got is true, no matter what they say to you
I could straight lace you, not just appearance
Stimulate your mind,
strengthen your spirits
Be that voice of reason when you ain't tryna hear it
You want it but you fear it, but you love
it when you near it
Sit her on the sofa, get a little closer
Touch you right, do it like a man's suppose to
Knew
you was the one, that's why I chose you
Cause you get down for yours and ride like a soldier
Your soul ain't a toy,
you ain't dealin' with a boy
Feel emptiness inside? I can fill that void
When you spend time with your woman and listen
It
shines more than any bagguette diamond can glisten
I can't impress you with the cars and the wealth
Cause any woman
with will and drive can get it herself
I'd rather show you it's heartfelt, make your heart melt
And prove to you you're
more important than anything else
Worthwhile, special like my first child
When I see your face it's always like the
first time
Our eyes met, I knew we'd be together in a tri-jet
I wanna give you things that I didn't buy yet
Hold
you, mold you, don't know, let me show you
Ain't no tellin' what we could grow to
Let it be known, I told you
And
I'mma be there for whatever you go through, my love's true
Don't let him sing you a sad song (No baby)
Waiting for
love like this too long
(You don't have to wait, you don't have to wait on him, baby)
All that you need I can give you
(You
don't have to wait, you don't have to wait on)
I do, satisfy you
(You don't have to wait on him)
I'm the light when you can't see
I'm that air when
you can't breathe
I'm that feeling when you can't leave
Some doubt, some believe, some lie, cheat, and deceive
So
it's only you and me
When you weak, I'll make you strong, here's where you belong
I ain't perfect, but I promise I won't
do you wrong
Keep you away from harm, my love is protected
I'll wrap you in my arms so you'll never feel neglected
I'll
just make you aware of what we have is rare
In the moment of despair, I'm the courage when you're scared
Loyal, down
for you, soon as I saw you
Wanted to be there cause I could hold it down for you
Be around for you, plant seeds in the
soil
Make love all night, bending bed coils
You're a queen, therefore I treat you royal
This is all for you, cause
I simply adore you
~Satisfy You~
