I learn what I know but I was born this way
More of a number and less of a name
I talk a little too quiet and not enough they say
I only tell my secrets when it's time to pray
You wouldn't see the war
Just looking from the outside
I've got red dirt blood here
Running on the inside
Sink or swim, live or die, a saving grace and a blue sky
All alone and unafraid, it's never just another day
And you don't back down or walk away
But I know, I do, I am, what it takes, what it takes
Wash away my footprints with the undertow
While I'll walk the wire, of the great unknown
I got two parts too my storied soul
One stands with my brothers, one waits for me back at home
Sink or swim, live or die, a saving grace and a blue sky
All alone and unafraid, it's never just another day
And you don't back down or walk away
But I know, I do, I am, what it takes
You wouldn't see the war
Just looking from the outside
I've got red dirt blood here
Running on the inside
Sink or swim, live or die, a saving grace and a blue sky
All alone and unafraid, it's never just another day
And you don't back down or walk away
But I know, I do, I am, what it takes, oh, what it takes
What it takes
