Lyrics

Intro: Yea do I walk through the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. For thou are with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me

Verse 1
We come from different cultures, background and races
Stand to defend our country by GodÃ??s graces
Took and oath of faith and everyday respect it
Against enemies foreign and domestic
Made a choice to serve, no mental reservation
Live and die in defense of a great nation
My faith is solid, no one can challenge
I do this for my freedom, loved ones and family

Bridge
So I, never lose focus, never go astray
Never ever falter, no matter what they say
Always stay the course, while enemies are plotting
Sacrifice and pray that we are not forgotten
Sacrifice our lives, our families feel the pain
Carry on without you, so that itÃ??s not in vain
We stand for truth, justice glory
Until itÃ??s written and read, this is My Military Story

Chorus
Proud professionals, leaders, servicemen
Soldiers, Marines, Sailors, Airmen
We travel worldwide, some never make it back
Serve across the world, Europe to Iraq
We do our missions freely, service before self
Strive to make a difference and pray to God it helps
This is a special calling, IÃ??ve got no regrets
We stand steadfast until our last breath

Verse 2
ItsÃ?? OÃ?? dark thirty, you know the saying man
My bags are all packed; itÃ??s time to leave again
Six months to a year in the sandbox
Ten hours in the air before my first stop
This is the hard part, my families at the gate
TransportationÃ??s broke, so we have to wait
FamilyÃ??s heartbroken, and I can see the tears
I play it strong and hold them till they disappear

Bridge
So I, always say I love you before the doors close
Holidays I missed, I send a red rose
Message to my kids, call my loved ones
Keeps me grounded, until my work is done
For those that came before me, those that have to follow
Many see it through, some never see tomorrow
This is my message, so you donÃ??t have to worry
YouÃ??re not forgotten, we remember, Your Military Story

Chorus
REPEAT

Verse 3
Some ask me why I serve and if I had a choice
I took my oath, spoke clearly with my own voice
No second thoughts considered, when I said my name
To bear true faith and allegiance to the same
Nobody forced our hands, we all volunteered
Protectors of the nation, some people think itÃ??s weird
ThatÃ??s why we never falter, no matter what the cost
We stand and fight for our freedom so it wonÃ??t be lost

Bridge
So I, never lose focus, never go astray
Never ever falter, no matter what they say
Always stay the course, while enemies are plotting
Sacrifice and pray that we are not forgotten
Sacrifice our lives, our families feel the pain
Carry on without you, so that itÃ??s not in vain
We stand for truth, justice glory
Until itÃ??s written and read, this is My Military Story


Chorus
REPEAT


Outro:
