Stumbled across an old green box 

in my grand daddy's house

inside was a cross 

some old dog tags 

a picture of when he was shippin out

so I showed it to him

said tell me about those days

when he looked inside

he closed his eyes

all he could say 



Was

I hear bag pipes cryin' amazing grace

Omaha Beach and her crashin waves

old glory draped like heavens mercy

over the fallen sons

I see all the heroes who were willin' to fight

in the name of freedom

layin down their lives

prayin Gods grace would keep us safe from harm 

til they brought us boys back home



Those were words to a boy that became a man

now I'm ankle deep in this persian sand

and everyday I'm givin' all I can

cause I'm damn proud to be american

yeah I've made some friends

and I've lost some too

when I think about 

what they gave

for me and you



And I hear bagpipes cryin' amazing grace

tears rollin down a mothers face

old glory draped like heavens mercy

over the fallen sons

I see all the heroes who are willin' to fight

in the name of freedom

layin down their lives

prayin Gods grace would keep us safe from harm 

til they bring us boys back home



I hear bagpipes cryin' amazing grace

tears rollin down a mothers face

old glory draped like heavens mercy

over the fallen sons

I see all the heroes who are willin' to fight

in the name of freedom

layin down their lives

I pray God's grace will keep you safe from harm

til they bring you boys back home



Til they bring you boys back home

Til they bring you boys back home
