Lyrics:

They walked through the door and onto the plane waving Goodbye with their hands
They spent the last year coping with fear that their children Would understand

And as one looked around
He swallowed his pride down
This is why we're here

We'll all leave below a blue sky traveling side by side
We'll all leave with our heads held high we know the road that lies
We'll go and serve
And with honor we'll return

They lost quite a few along the way but brought them together the same
From assignment to assignment and mission to mission this is why they came

And as one looked around
He made it to solid ground
This is why we're here

We'll all leave below a blue sky traveling side by side
We'll all leave with our heads held high we know the road that lies
We'll go and serve
And with honor we'll return

We'll all leave with our heads held high we know the road that lies

We'll all leave below a blue sky traveling side by side
We'll all leave with our heads held high we know the road that lies
We'll go and serve
And with honor we'll return

Can you please write a song about missing/waiting for someone.

like, 'missing you/waiting for you'

meaning we will always be here, and how much you mean to us. My friend kaitlyn is headed into the army and I want her to know everyones here for her and she will always be loved. And everyones waiting for her return safe and sound. :) This goes for any man or woman headed into the services. ;)

Thank you all the military needs support like this

[MrWilliam2998]

Thank you for this great song.

Very nice song. Not only are you funny, but you are sensitive and caring as well. You are an extremely talented young lady and also remarkably hard working to write all these songs and get everything out there for all of us to see. I was wondering if you could write a song about all the pets that are abused and/or euthanized because of cruelty and neglect. I don't think most people are aware of the magnitude of this problem. Keep up the good work!

I knew you could make me smile and laugh but dang it if you can't bring a tear to my eye as well.

Wonderful tribute. Thanks to all our soldiers, American and Canadian.
