Journey - Out Of Harms Way

He grew up in some forgotten midwest town His mama raised him well Barely getting by, but he'd be okay As far as he could tell Oh, the plant in town closed ten years ago Now an empty ghost ship stands For the last nine months he's tried to find a job But there's nothing to be had So he signs up to fight for Uncle Sam It's the only choice he's got To fight a desert war with another land Only to find peace or not He's a moving target in a desperate place Every day is a twist of fate Oh, his family wonders if he'll make it home Knowing his faith's his saving grace Now he's waking up in a strange land To face an even stranger day Brave ones, standing tall Keep them all out of harms way Now he's waking up in a strange land To face an even stranger day Brave ones, standing tall Keep them all out of harms way Keep them all out of harms way Harms way Oh, they sent him home to his family Nursing wounds that no one sees Certain scents and smells trigger flashback spells That rewind the tragedy All these memories hold him prisoner Cause of the violence he regrets What was his ticket out is his nightmare now In a war he can't forget Now he's waking up in a strange land To face an even stranger day Brave ones, standing tall Keep them all out of harms way Now he's waking up in a strange land To face an even stranger day Brave ones, standing tall Keep them all out of harms way Keep them all out of harms way Harms way
