about
Words/Music: James Vincent Carroll
Written for Matt and Angela Short and every Soldier that has sacrificed so much in leaving their loved ones behind while they fight for our freedom.
lyrics
You were the light in the darkness, angel of the night
the vision that kept hope alive while I was in the fight
Noise and fire all around me, yet I could hear your voice
Calling me back to your arms as If I had a choice
You were my cool breeze in the desert
My dream that would come true
My hiding place from danger, my home away from home
My princess in the tower, my mission proud and true
The reason I'm alive sweet girl, my solace was you
My grandpa showed me what it takes to be a man
So I served my country to be just like him
The weight of a soldier only God knows
The promise of your love brought me home
