Ready to Serve Again

[Verse 1]
Boots by the door, dust still on the soles,
A faded flag hangs on the wall.
The echoes of orders, they still call my name,
Like a drumbeat deep in my soul.
[Prechorus]
I’m not done, no, I’m not through,
This heart still beats red, white, and blue.
[Chorus]
If my country calls, I’m ready, I’m steady,
My oath’s not bound by time.
It’s a fire that burns, it’s the blood in my veins,
I’d go back in a heartbeat, no need to explain.
For the land I love, I’d stand once again,
I’m ready to serve, ready to serve again.
[Verse 2]
The nights are quieter, but my mind still fights,
Dreams of deserts and skies of sand.
I still see their faces, my brothers, my team,
We bled together on foreign land.
[Prechorus]
This uniform’s more than a stitch and thread,
It’s a promise I made, a life I’ve led.
[Chorus]
If my country calls, I’m ready, I’m steady,
My oath’s not bound by time.
It’s a fire that burns, it’s the blood in my veins,
I’d go back in a heartbeat, no need to explain.
For the land I love, I’d stand once again,
I’m ready to serve, ready to serve again.
