Lyrics

I come from an Island
In the Carolina sand
Where I was broke down, built up and reborn a fighting man
My blood runs red, white and blue
I?ll brave the cold, the rain, the pain and the bullets so you don?t have to

Don?t worry about me; I?ll be all right
Just care for your children and sleep tight
I?ll keep you safe on my watch tonight

It?s a long, long way from that island
And a long way from home
With the thought of you standing behind me
I could never be alone

There?s a promise I need you to make
While I?m gone you take care of the love
And I?ll deal with the hate.

Don?t worry about me; I?ll be all right
Just care for your children and sleep tight
I?ll keep you safe on my watch tonight

Don?t worry about me; I?ll be all right
Just care for your children and sleep tight
I?ll keep you safe on my watch tonight
