Citizen Soldier by 3 Doors Down
Beyond the boundaries of your city's lights, Stand the heroes waiting for your cries. So many times you did not bring this on yourself, When that moment finally comes, I'll be there to help.
On that day when you need your brothers and sisters to care, I'll be right here. Citizen soldiers holding the light for the ones that we guide from the dark of despair. Standing on guard for the ones that we sheltered, We'll always be ready because we will always be there.
When there are people crying in the streets, When they're starving for a meal to eat, When they simply need a place to make their beds, Right here underneath my wing, You can rest your head.
On that day when you need your brothers and sisters to care, I'll be right here! Citizen soldiers holding the light for the ones that we guide from the dark of despair. Standing on guard for the ones that we sheltered, We'll always be ready because we will always be there...
There... there... there...
Hope and pray that you'll never need me, But rest assured I will not let you down. I'll walk beside you but you may not see me, The strongest among you may not wear a crown.
On that day when you need your brothers and sisters to care, I'll be right here! On that day when you don't have the strength for the burden you bear, I'll be right here! Citizen soldiers holding the light for the ones that we guide from the dark of despair. (Citizen soldiers) Standing on guard for the ones that we sheltered, We'll always be ready because we will always be there.
A hundred days have made me older Since the last time that I saw your pretty face A thousand lies have made me colder And I don't think I can look at this the same But all the miles that separate Disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face
I'm here without you baby But you're still on my lonely mind I think about you baby And I dream about you all the time I'm here without you baby But you're still with me in my dreams And tonight it's only you and me
The miles just keep rollin' As the people leave their way to say hello I've heard this life is overrated But I hope that it gets better as we go
I'm here without you baby But you're still on my lonely mind I think about you baby And I dream about you all the time I'm here without you baby But you're still with me in my dreams And tonight girl its only you and me
Everything I know, and anywhere I go It gets hard but it wont take away my love And when the last one falls When it's all said and done It gets hard but it wont take away my love
I'm here without you baby But you're still on my lonely mind I think about you baby And I dream about you all the time I'm here without you baby But you're still with me in my dreams And tonight girl its only you and me
because he heard it and sent it to me and now its our song, because we are -- here without you. dedicated to the man I love.

Thank you Tom. I do hope you're right. Right now I'll grasp at anything that may get him home sooner. And that he may be safer. He just received notice Saturday and is supposed to leave this week.
But, you're right, the best thing I'll hear in the next year or so is -Honey, I'm headed home.
Unfortunately, Firefighter will need those thoughts and prayers more than ever. He was notified Saturday night that he is re-deploying. He will be leaving the states on Wednesday for Germany and from there to wherever they send him on Friday.
Please continue to keep him in your prayers and thoughts. Not only him, but also the families of the soldiers and in the case of Firefighters unit, the men and women that they work on. Fire is with a medical team.
I'll tell you LilWhiskey, this man you're talking to, Leo, is a pretty special military man. I have the honor of calling him my friend. This evening he has been comforting me. I've known him for a while. I'm just saying, here is a truly wonderful man, right under your nose.
And then he gets sucked away to a war for 12-14 months. They're special men, but they have a duty to serve and they do. Anyone close suffers because of it. I've never gone through this and now it's breaking my heart. It's just wrong to give someone less than a weeks notice until they're in the middle of a war.
I understand what you mean. I always wanted a military man. But now he's leaving.
Though I'm southern and have a southern accent, I don't like a southern red neck or southern hillbilly accent. Thats a real turn off to me. And some harsh northern accents.
