Gold Coast Bike Week

You would think

Since someone is always telling you what to do,
You wouldn't have the time to get home sick.

We Do!

You would think
Since you do PT every day,
and march so far up hills and pray,
That you will see another day.
You wouldn't have time to miss home.

We Do

You would think
That while we serve our time at Fire duty,
We would be watching out for a surprise.
Instead of having time to get homesick.

But We Do!

Every day we wake up,
We think of home,
We think of family and our friends.
We think of what we could have done,
If we were not here.
You would think,
We wouldn't have time to miss home.

But We Do!

Everyone we love from home,
Is what gets us through each day.
Lets me endure all of the pain
Knowing that I am,
enduring it for you,
makes it so much easier,
day by day to get me through.

Do You?

While I am away from home,
Training every day.
we wonder here do you think of us
In the same way?
Do You?

When you get up each morning,
To start your daily routine,
Does your mind
Have flooding thoughts of me?

Do You?

As you Take your warm shower,
Do your hair just so.
Do you think of me,
Constantly on the go?

Do You?

Well mom and dad and dear friends
I do this task for you.
So as you say your night time prayers.
Do you pray for our soldiers far and wide?
Or do you only pray.
For the child you want back by your side?

Do You?

Please don't ever,
Run out of time for me.
Because if you didn't know it,
Thats what my life now seems to be.
I will never forget you.
Your voice or your face.
I am out here training to fight,
To protect your sacred place.

We Do Miss You,
More than you will ever know.
So please just give us the word.
To Let each soldier know.

We Do?
Do You?
