This song was written for the Army National Guard, for those who are deployed during times of war but lead civilian lives otherwise. While I want to be Active Duty, I still appreciate the lyrics and the message.
And this is what I'm doing with my depressive episode. Fun stuff. Yeah.
Warrior.
So don't tell me who's wrong and right,
When liberty starts slipping away.
And if you ain't gonna fight,
Get out of the way.
'Cause freedom ain't so free,
When you breathe red, white, and blue.
I'm givin' all of myself,
'Cause that's what I do.
And they call me - WARRIOR!
They call me - LOYALTY!
And they call me,
Ready to provide,
Relief and help, I'm
Wherever you need me to be.
I'm an American - WARRIOR!
Citizen Soldier!
I'm an American - WARRIOR!
Citizen Soldier!
Citizen Soldier
I'll never leave another behind,
I will never accept defeat.
I'm a soldier in war,
Civilian in peace.
'Cause freedom ain't so free,
When you breathe red, white, and blue.
I'm givin' all of myself,
How 'bout you?
And they call me - WARRIOR!
They call me - LOYALTY!
And they call me,
Ready to deploy,
Engage, and destroy,
Whenever you need me to be.
I'm an American - WARRIOR!
Citizen Soldier!
I'm an American - WARRIOR!
Citizen Soldier!
Warrior!
Citizen Soldier!
Warrior!
Citizen Soldier!
Note: The lyrics are slightly different than those in the National Guard ad. Why this is, I cannot tell you, but these are the lyrics to the real song - not the bit used in the advertisement.
