Written for a very special family- thank you for your sacrifice!
The sun rises on the little white house
A silent prayer is said
She has to keep trying to hide her fear
She waits faithfully through her tears.
The little one wakes, another day older
Another day missed by a Selfless Soldier
How much does it hurt, hearts so intertwined
What do they give up, what do they leave behind?
Because
He fights for Freedom.
He fights for Faith
In so many ways he's our symbol of strength
Not because he wants to
Not because he's forced
But because he is A Selfless Soldier
A Selfless Soldier.
They sacrifice comfort, sacrifice home
They sacrifice family waiting alone.
Endure through their pain everyday.
If only there was some other way - there's no other way
But still
He fights for Freedom.
He fights for Faith
In so many ways he's our symbol of strength
Not because he wants to
Not because he's forced
But because he is A Selfless Soldier
A Selfless Soldier.
They do it for me
They do it for you
They do it to stand up for the truth
Everything they have to go through
We live today because of what they do
They fight for Freedom.
They fight for Faith
In so many ways they're our symbol of strength
Not because they want to
Not because they're forced
But because they are Our Selfless Soldiers
A Selfless Soldier.
Thank You.
Why I am doing this:
- chelleblynn
- Anyone who really knows me would know that I could not live without music. Music can change my mood like nothing else! I have been writing my own songs since I was a little girl, and have decided that I don't want to keep them to myself anymore! One of the reasons I started writing lyrics is this: when I'm in a bad mood, or when I'm really sad I usually find some music that I like, and try to zone the world out. So many times I've been listening to something, and I've felt such powerful emotions! Love, gratitude, confidence, hope, the list can go on and on! I would love to know that someone else had a similar experience because of something I wrote. That is my goal! My biggest fear is that people won't like what I've written. I am terrified of rejection, but I read a quote once that said "Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do." I've thought a lot about that, and I've decided that I cannot guarantee that everyone will love my songs, but I can compose. I can write. I can sing. I can play. And I can hear awesome harmonies! So, I'm not going to let what I can't do interfere with what I can do anymore! That is why I am here
