Enlisted
All my information on these steel tags
A chain around my neck
A daily reminder of who i am
Following in his shoes
His dog tags in my hand
Mine on my neck
Tears stroll down my face
You were my hero
My idol
My role model
Now I follow in your footsteps
Saving people just like you did
Serving my country just as you did before me
I will make you proud
I can do this if i believe
You taught me that
I can do it if i only try
Now I follow in your footsteps
Crying when I'm alone
PTSD
I don't know how you did this
You made it look so easy
I hold your dog tags and i know
That somehow your still with me
I can do this if i only believe
Fighting these demons in my head
Stronger than i know
You believed in me
Now with your dog tags in my hand
With mine around my neck
I know i can do this
You're still with me
Every single day
Everywhere i go
Your dog tags remind me that I'm human
I'm following in your footsteps
Reminded everyday to fight through the tears
Push through the years and follow my dreams
These steel dog tags
Hold all our information
Reminding us of our fight
Enlisted or reserves
We are military
Struggles and all
I follow in your footsteps
Even long after your gone
You are my hero
My role model
My father
Thank you for everything you've done
