Lyrics:
Said bye to mom, said bye to dad
See you soon to what friends we had
Her hair was clipped, my face was shaved
So help me God, shipped out that day
Brother and sister, born to be free. Sworn in together, achieved destiny

Given to the fight, our will was forged
Over long day and night we trained for war
Learned to heal, it taught us teamwork
It taught us to kill, the enemy still lurks

Faceless among us.
Don’t know who to trust

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
All paratroopers come from heaven
Eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve
All paratroopers go through hell
Don’t hesitate when they open the door.
Jump from a plane and count to four

Jump from a plane wearing parachutes
Eyes wide open focused on our boots
Body positioned to keep on living
Sky is wicked, ground unforgiving
Fall down, get back up. Flutter kicks and push-ups

Learned our job skill by the book
The duty station taught us what it took
Went down range to a little war
Made it back home with an award
No chest to pin it on. Lost in life like a roadside bomb

One day retirement will come
End time in service for some
The heroes of whom we knew a few
Gave their lives in red white and blue

Faceless among us.
Jump at the chance to save us.
