Lyrics
I'm waving goodbye to my hometown streets Gonna stand tall where the ocean meets [Chorus] Marching one foot at a time Carry the courage I'll find On this journey, I'm not alone, baby With the stars and stripes, I'll grow Oh, the time has come, baby Gotta march on to the Parris scene Feeling strong, I know I'll face it, baby Just like I'm chasing down a dream [Verse 4] You know I'm brave, brave now, baby I'm brave for the red, white, and blue The barracks echo with my name (echo with my name) Steel-toed resolve, no room for shame On this island where eagles dare Shouts and orders fill the air (fill the air) [Chorus] It's a rite of passage under southern skies Shaved my head, standing ready, baby My boots hit the dirt before dawn greets the day Lace 'em up tight, it's time to earn my stay Running through the morn', sand flees at my heels They bite and they buzz, but they can't break my will [Verse 5] Scrubbing my rifle, till she shines like new No room for error, this is what we do I'm sighting down this barrel now, at peace (at peace) With every breath, my aim is true, release (release) Stare down the target, squeeze the trigger slow Every shot a testament, I'll show (I'll show) [Verse 6] Camouflaged and crawlin', beneath the wire Learning combat skills, in the mud and mire Saluting to the sky, under that scorching sun (oh yeah) Badges on our hearts, this war we've already won [Verse 7] On the drill field marching, steps ring out so clear Every left and right, a promise conquers fear [Verse 8] Dressed blues on Graduation, we wear them oh so proud Tears and cheers around us, as family shouts aloud Earned the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor (Eagle, Globe, and Anchor) Did it all for freedom's anchor (freedom's anchor) [Verse 9] I feel the weight of every stripe Each step I take is worth the hype Through trials and pain, it's made me stronger My devotion can't be anchored
