Proud to serve in the Army
I was called to duty in a country far across the sea,
to stand the wall against terrorism, so all can be free.
I deal with the unknown, hot days and cold nights,
Living in the darkness, from all city lights
I stand in the desert, surrounded by sand
Gazing over the horizon, ready to fight in a foreign land
You ask me why i am here, is the question addressed to me?
To protect all land that prays and wishes for democracy
I am no one special, just a commoner's daughter or son
So i joined the army became an "Army of One."
I serve in a proud unit that stands out against the rest
It is a unit with pride which truly makes it the best
look at my left shoulder and you'll see,
I am a member of the prestigious unit of the army called 3ID
