Marine Hero
No one knows
The way you hold me
With your mind
The way you make me feel
So right
You’re a hero
A true hero by trade
A strong man
With warmth and grace
I wish I was the one you love
Instead of one you just think of
When you’re lonely - sad
Missing home
Stuck in Iraq
I wish I was the woman waiting for you
With open arms I would receive you
But I am not
And I will never be
Cuz you and I
We’re not meant to be
But I thank you
I thank you so much for what you do
I will always think of you
When I see red, white and blue
