No Harm
verse 1-
step off that Apache
those thrusters burning and kicking up sand
for the next year
you wont go any where without a gun in your hand
right there your whole life changes
so many new faces
oh
chorus-
when those war drums beat
tie up the boots on my feet
i'm a sister, a daughter, i'm a mother, a wife
willing to lay down my life tonight
i pray i don't have to fight
but if i see that white light
i know i did the right thing
and god will welcome me
hey i'm proud of this job
standing tough with my sisters and brothers in arm
i'm ready for battle
but i pray for no harm
verse 2-
people protest it
who have no idea what we go through
why we do what we do
i didn't want this war
but i'd do it again and again
the same as before
cuz i stand for what i believe in
chorus-
when those war drums beat
tie up the boots on my feet
i'm a sister, a daughter, i'm a mother, a wife
willing to lay down my life tonight
i pray i don't have to fight

i know i did the right thing
and god will welcome me
hey i'm proud of this job
standing tough with my sisters and brothers in arm
i'm ready for battle
but i pray for no harm
verse 3-
if something should happen
and i don't make it back
remember that
chorus-
when those war drums beat
tie up the boots on my feet
i'm a sister, a daughter, i'm a mother, a wife
