Song Description

It tells of how Marines (any service really) at a moments notice can be called. Some of the things you see, and do, are sometimes hard to deal with. But, to know that no matter what, that God loves us and wants us to talk to Him.

Lyrics

Semper Fi (Always Faithful)
By Scott Utley - BMI #10664446

In the Corps he was taught, two very simple words
They're more than just a phrase, and they're more than just a code
It's a way of life and honor, "Always Faithful" to the end
God, Country, Corps is the way that we all live

Duty calls the Marine away to some far forsaken land,
Some country that's in need, someone that needs a hand.
His wife and kids all gathered there, they hug and as they all cry,
As he tells them that he loves them, and then he says goodbye.

CHORUS
Semper Fi, All is well
I walk this post, I will not fail
I'll give my life, so you won't die
All is well, Semper Fi!

War is hard on a soul, and it's hard on a man
One more patrol to do, another night living in the sand
Sometimes you feel like stone, it's hard to take it in,
There's no time for any emotion as another fire fight begins.

Later that night after all of the smoke clears,
You hear an eerie silence, you can almost hear the tears
You see your fallen brothers, on the ground as they lay
You lock your body, a slow salute and you simply say

CHORUS

You come on home, but it's not the same
Things you remember, can't get out of your brain
Sitting in church one day, thinking of lost friends
He looked up to Heaven, "Lord please forgive, and let us in."

He was overcome with comfort and overwhelmed with such peace
As he felt a tear run down his face, he heard the good Lord speak.

Semper Fi, All is well
I walk this post, I will not fail
I gave my life, that you won't die
All is well, Semper Fi!
