Your thought of fun is hanging with your friends,
Wondering what to wear for this weekend’s party
Their idea of fun is trying to stay alive.
Your idea of loving your special someone is to run into his arms every night
Our idea of loving our special someone is to sit by the phone waiting for his call.
Your idea of a good night is lying beside your love
Their Idea of a good night is being able to call home to talk to their families.
You go out the door and wonder what to do
They walk out the wire and wonder if they will make it back alive.
You say you’re sacred because of a stupid nightmare
They can’t say their scared, when they see something horrifying.
You worry about your car being scratched,
They worry about the next car bomb.
You worry about what the bumps in the road are doing to your car.
They worry if they will hit a road side bomb.
You talk about what you saw that day
They can’t talk about what they have been through.
You can feel safe when you go home at night.
They can’t sleep when the terrorist are near their doors.
You say you support the troop then talk shit about them behind their back.
We say we support are troops, because we love them and we really know the truth.
You cry when you don’t see the one you love for a few days.
They cry because they don’t know if they will ever see theirs again.
You feel bad when your loved one gets in a car accident
They go numb when they see their friends blown up.
You can rest easy know you have nothing to fear,
They can’t rest the same when they see what they did.
You forget one of your friends at the mall, but that’s ok they forgive you.
They can’t leave anyone behind, their lives depend on it.
You watch the news and don’t think anything about it.
We watch the news and cry ourselves to sleep.
You can say that there is nothing you fear about this war.
They Fear everything about this war.
Your life falls apart when the one you love breaks up with you
Our lives fall apart when another soldiers dies.
You can say you feel from a family when they lose their soldier.
We can relate to the family because of our soldiers.
You work and can make ends meet.
They risk their lives and can’t.
You say military families have it easy.
You have no idea what they go through.
You come home and everything alright.
They come home and don’t know where to start.
