The Cost Of A Hero

Kisses his Mamma goodbye His fights still raw
And boards the plane Forever more......
Watches his girl as she cries
And feels the same Mamma don't cry for me..... Mamma
Wonders if he'll ever come home This is the life for me Mamma
If he'll ever know
The unborn babies that he wants to show There's bullets ricocheting down here
Just how to love, and live out a dream The snipers pinned us down I fear
Nothing would be better than Were holed up in this spot for now
To watch them grow Gotta be safe, keep down low in here
It's all he knows....... Fight the fear, save the tear
Keep the cover for our brothers in here
He looks back knowing he'll
Never be the same Poppa please pray for me..... Poppa
For the people he loves It's do or die for me Poppa
His breaking heart feels pain
He knows duty comes first, He's home in time
And he's got to move For his babies to be born
His Country beckons him his oath to prove His daughter and son arrive
Got to fight hard, and come home again But his mind is torn
Return a hero and Paid the price himself for this
Hope they all know Forever in fear
He just had to go..... He'll fight on alone now for all his years
Watch his kids grow up
Mamma don't cry for me..... Mamma From behind his mask
This is the life for me Mamma Needs a lot of help to live,
it's a mighty task
There's bullets ricocheting down here It's too much to ask.....
The snipers pinned us down I fear
Were holed up in this spot for now Mamma don't cry for me..... Mamma
Gotta be safe, keep down low in here This is the life for me Mamma
Fight the fear, save the tear
Keep the cover for our brothers in here There's bullets ricocheting down here
The snipers pinned us down I fear
Poppa please pray for me..... Poppa Were holed up in this spot for now
It's do or die for me Poppa Gotta keep safe, keep down low in here
Fight the fear, save the tear
The bullets fly and graze skin Keep the cover for our brothers in here
But he's okay
His buddies aren't so lucky Poppa please pray for me..... Poppa
Some will die today It's do or die for me..... Poppa
Waiting for the signal now,
Deployment ends Mamma don't cry for me.....Momma
Praying to his God for his long lost friends
Coming home a hero Poppa please pray for me.....Poppa
'Cause he fought a war
But in his own mind now Momma don't cry......
