A thousand thoughts running through my head
|
As I stepped off the plane in a foreign land
|
Half a world away from everything I knew
|
Was I gonna be safe, what should I expect
|
Was it like the war on my TV set
|
I was thanking God that I was just passing through
|
Well I'd come so far to sing my songs for soldiers old and young
|
I tried to tell 'em all how proud I was,
|
But the words just wouldn't come
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
What do you say to the ones who've given it all
|
Put their lives on the line when duty calls
|
How do you give back to those who give up everything
|
What do you do when you look them in the eyes
|
When you know they made that sacrifice
|
When words aren't enough to tell 'em just what you're feeling
|
That's a time when the least that you can do is just say
|
Thank You
|
|
A thousand lights are shining down
|
As I stepped out on the stage to a waiting crowd
|
Knowing some of them would never make it home
|
And I thought about everything I had
|
I thought about my friends and my mom and dad
|
And how I'd see them in all in just a week or so
|
The soldiers came up one by one and thanked me for my time
|
I said I'm not the one who's standing out there on the front line
|
|
[CHORUS x2]
|
What do you say to the ones who've given it all
|
Put their lives on the line when duty calls
|
How do you give back to those who give up everything
|
What do you do when you look them in the eyes
|
When you know they made that sacrifice
|
When words aren't enough to tell 'em just what you're feeling
|
That's a time when the least that you can do is just say
|
Whoa, that's a time when the least that you can do is just say
|
Thank You
|
|
Thank You....
