No time for anything
Always in a hurry
Too busy being selfish
The world around you is so blurry
I never stop trying
Always praying for peace of mind

The American soul fights a battle within itself
If you ever knew what it was like
All the pain I felt
Walk where these soles step
Armed with weapons in hand
Here on this foreign land

It’s a home away from home
A temporary family
Wherever I may be
I never leave a man behind
I never stop trying
Always praying for peace of mind

The American soul fights a battle within itself
If you ever knew what it was like
All the pain I felt
Walk where these soles step
Armed with weapons in hand
Here on this foreign land

Freedom is “free”
But if you could only see
The risks I take
The lives at stake
Hope gravity doesn’t get the best of me
But freedom is really free

Then why has the American soul lost a battle within itself
You never knew what it was like
All the pain I felt
Walk where these American soles stepped
Armed with weapons in hand
There on that foreign land

Like a fairy tale with a happy ending
Wish we could all get along
And end these reasons for defending
But until then
Take pride in everything you do
You never know who is protecting you
American souls have a lot to prove
As long as American soles walking on foreign soil are fighting for you
