Discovered this music group from a link posted on The Jawa Report. Music video "Walk Through That Door" shows the sacrifice that our wonderful veterans go through to have that wonderful "Welcome Home Again" moment. Watch it and then check out the groups own website. Both links are posted below in the Ref. section.
On that website, you can listen to their new album and there is a section that shows the lyrics to each song. Below, are the lyrics to the song "Walking Through That Door" from their website. Video from YouTube below. Again, if you cannot view it on my blog, just go to YouTube to see it.
WALKING THROUGH THAT DOOR
We fell in love the moment we first met
And everything was perfect in our lives
But I'm a soldier and I wont forget
The call of duty came and I went with pride
I found myself over seas, just protecting the dreams that we have
And there’s’ nothing more important than giving all I have to give
I'm fighting for the things that I believe
Its time to go my country's calling me
Chorus:
When I go walking through that door
I'm leaving with my head held high
I'll serve my country through this war
But I'll come back with pride
When I got home after my tour was through
I couldn't wait to take her as my wife
I asked her father if he would approve
And he said "son give her a happy life"
I found my self overjoyed when she told me a baby boy, was on the way
But my face grew pale when I picked up the mail
And saw my second call of duty came
Still fighting for the things that I believe
Its time to go my country's calling me
Chorus
I love my family, but I serve my country
And I'll be the man who swore an oath to those above me
And I'll fight harder, and I won’t be martyred
And I'll make it home so all my children know me
Chorus
So all my children know me
I’ll come back alive
So all my children know me I’ll come back alive.
Watch the video. I dare you not to tear up.
There is another song on that album you should hear and those lyrics are below. It's entitled: In The Days That Reagan Ruled....
IN THE DAYS THAT REAGAN RULED
Searching in the distance
For a shining city on a hill
For I was told in days of old
That it would be there still
But what I see is killin’ me
It tears right at my soul
Just enemies of liberty
Now victims they are called
The people can’t communicate
No language as a glue
And the communists in Hollywood
Who tell you what to do
But things were so much different --
Chorus:
In The Days That Reagan Ruled
In The Days That Reagan Ruled
In The Days That Reagan Ruled
He was the Gipper, he had the knack
He took a bullet and he still came back
In The Days That Reagan Ruled!
In The Days That Reagan Ruled!
He was an honest man with a simple dream
A dream we should hold true
When he met with Gorbachev, he stood firm and proud
Not like other men, who would’ve knelt down and bowed
All his rivals couldn’t stand the plot
But he destroyed our greatest enemy - without a single shot
Negotiate, yet dominate; peace through strength he’d say
No hostages he’d let you hold, not for a day
Things were so much different --
Chorus
California was still the Golden State
Our culture we could celebrate
Our First Lady still had some class
No race-baiters talking all of their trash
In The Days That Reagan Ruled
In The Days That Reagan Ruled
Things were so much different
In The Days That Reagan Ruled
In The Days That Reagan Ruled
Chorus
Tearing down an iron wall
Acting in his greatest role
Made all his critics look like fools
‘Cause even jelly beans were cool!
[Reagan VO fade…].
