Drill Sergeant Lee calling cadence. Ft. McClellan, Alabama 1992. Below are the words:




" Early Morning Rain"
REFRAIN:
In the early morning rain
With my weapon in my hand
Im going home today
From this far war torn land.

Ive been away so long
And Ive missed you both so much
Youre always on my mind
I hunger for your touch.

REFRAIN:

I hope youll understand
That Ive changed from day to day
Im now a different man
Than the one who went away.

REFRAIN:

Happy birthday to my son
Though its long past overdue
Hope I can make it up
To my young son and you.

REFRAIN:

My companion has met death
And Ive seen so many die
I pray with all my heart
For the dove of peace to fly.

REFRAIN:

With a rifle in my arms
And a rucksack on my back
Ive carried forth this fight
But now Im coming back.

REFRAIN:

Please forgive me if you will
For some things that I have done
The animal within
The animal has won.

REFRAIN:

This war is over now
But the memories flood my mind
Of the animal that dwells
Within the human kind

REFRAIN:
