Walk Through That Door by Madison Rising

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…].
