Standing at the gate i will always do my job
No matter how late, tiring or hard.
Through rain, sleet and snow,
I am out there for more than show.
I'll always stand straight 4 my country
yet fear of suicide bombers grows inside me.
Flashes from previous explosions still pound through me
I still see the smoke clearing, feel my ears
ringing.
My friend on the ground in agony,
me shooting iraqi's angrily.
I must block out these fear full flashbacks
so i can do my present job and prevent more
filled caskets.
at the gate I will always stand
risking my life for more than just my homeland
