Danny Strong
A million miles away
Still near my heart
Standing up for the stars and stripes
Defending the weak and innocent
Leaving us
To protect us
Sadness swells inside at times
But I’m more proud then anything
A million miles away
Still near my heart
Letters back and forth
Video chat now and then
Sometimes though
Weeks without conversation
Worry rises inside at times
But I stay stronger than most
For now a million miles away
But always near my heart
Still near my heart
Standing up for the stars and stripes
Defending the weak and innocent
Leaving us
To protect us
Sadness swells inside at times
But I’m more proud then anything
A million miles away
Still near my heart
Letters back and forth
Video chat now and then
Sometimes though
Weeks without conversation
Worry rises inside at times
But I stay stronger than most
For now a million miles away
But always near my heart
