Afghanistan John Emery
(Soft)
Waking up to the sound of the gun,
Knowing that it's my work calling.
People say "Why don't you run?",
It's because others count on me,
(Little louder)
Counting on me to do my job,
Counting on me to defend our cause.
Counting on me to win the fight,
So others sleep safe at night.
(Chorus)
So far from home,
It gets harder and harder every day.
So far from home,
Loved ones seem to slip away.
It's impossible to know,
If I'm gonna come back home.
Never gonna faultier, Never gonna bend.
Every time I close my eyes, I'm back home again.
I'm a Soldier in Afghanistan.
(soft)
Going out on all day patrols,
Never knowing when were gonna get hit.
It really beats you up,
It really wears your nerves thin.
(little louder)
Never knowing what to expect,
Never knowing whos gonna be next.
Never knowing what your gonna do,
But some how you'll pull threw.
(Chorus)
So far from home,
It gets harder and harder every day.
So far from home,
Loved ones seem to slip away.
It's impossible to know,
If I'm gonna come back home.
Never gonna faultier, Never gonna bend.
Every time I close my eyes, I'm back home again.
I'm a Soldier in Afghanistan.
(Little louder)
Counting on me to do my job,
Counting on me to defend our cause.
Counting on me to win the fight,
Helping others sleep safe at night.
(Chorus)
So far from home,
It gets harder and harder every day.
So far from home,
Loved ones seem to slip away.
It's impossible to know,
If I'm gonna come back home.
Never gonna faultier, Never gonna bend.
Every time I close my eyes, I'm back home again.
I'm a Soldier in Afghanistan.
I'm a Soldier in Afghanistaaannnnn...................
In Afghanistaaannnnn...................
Waking up to the sound of the gun,
Knowing that it's my work calling.
