Thank You

A thousand thoughts running through my head

As I stepped off the plane in a foreign land

Half a world away from everything I knew

Was I gonna be safe, what should I expect

Was it like the war on my TV set

I was thanking God that I was just passing through

Well I'd come so far to sing my songs for soldiers old and young

I tried to tell 'em all how proud I was,

But the words just wouldn't come

What do you say to the ones who've given it all

Put their lives on the line when duty calls

How do you give back to those who give up everything

What do you do when you look them in the eyes

When you know they made that sacrifice

When words aren't enough to tell 'em just what you're feeling

That's a time when the least that you can do is just say

Thank You

A thousand lights are shining down

As I stepped out on the stage to a waiting crowd

Knowing some of them would never make it home

And I thought about everything I had

I thought about my friends and my mom and dad

And how I'd see them in all in just a week or so

The soldiers came up one by one and thanked me for my time

I said I'm not the one who's standing out there on the front line

What do you say to the ones who've given it all

Put their lives on the line when duty calls

How do you give back to those who give up everything

What do you do when you look them in the eyes

When you know they made that sacrifice

When words aren't enough to tell 'em just what you're feeling

That's a time when the least that you can do is just say

Whoa, that's a time when the least that you can do is just say

Thank You
