(Man) I knew what life would be when I signed on the line.
I promised you no matter what that I would give my all.
But the last few months the weren't kind.
And I can't seem to fall asleep in peace.
I haven't gone a day without that silver around my neck,
Pressed to my heart, calling me still.
The number on my bunk says two hundred seventy two.
Every day one less that I have to be in hell.
This life we chose will risk it all.
This life we live may take it all.
All our strength and all our love.
We will always give our best,
God and country before the rest.
We fight for all we have at home,
Just to keep it as our own.
For the homeland, from the homefront,
Working together, worlds apart.
(Woman) I knew what life would be when I signed on the line.
I promised you no matter what that I would be just fine.
But the last few months it's been cold at night,
And I can't seem to sleep without a light.
I haven't gone a day without your silver around my neck,
Pressed to my heart, like a lifeline.
The number on the fridge says two hundred seventy two.
Every day is one less that I spend missing you.
This life we chose will risk it all.
This life we live may take it all.
All our strength and all our love.
We will always give our best,
God and country before the rest.
We fight for all we have at home,
Just to keep it as our own.
For the homeland, from the homefront,
Working together, worlds apart.
(Together) We bleed red from the day we were born,
Cried blue the day that duty called.
Every day we live to never wave that white.
Miles of star-filled skies hold us together,
(Man) And as I walk the streets watching every step,
(Woman) I lie alone praying He guides your every move.
(Man) For the homeland
(Woman) From the homefront
(Together) Working together, worlds apart.
(Together) This life we chose will risk it all.
This life we live may take it all.
All our strength and all our love.
We will always give our best,
God and country before the rest.
We fight for all we have at home,
Just to keep it as our own.
For the homeland, from the homefront,
Working together, worlds apart.
