As the sun rises, bodies stir
Yesterdays adventures one big blur
Scary dreams, screaming voices
Battles fought without choices
Mind racing, body numb
Boots on the floor, pickup my gun
Another patrol lives on the line
No going without my canine
Walking the streets eyes all around
Bullets fly, hit the ground
Innocents screaming running scared
Stand up and fight, soldiers dare
A soldiers life is beyond compare
Mind racing, body numb
Hands and fingers tight on my gun
As the sun sets, the day winds down
Soldiers boots still on the ground
Sitting on their racks, take a deep breath
Another day done, survived death
Laying down, eyes closed and eerie calm
Body numb, mind racing waiting for dawn
