I wake up early
I wake up at 4:45
I like to have that psychological win
Over the enemy
The Enemy
The Enemy
When I wake up in the morning and I don't know why
I'm thinking about
The Enemy
And what they're doing
And I'm not active duty anymore 
But it's still in there
That there's a guy
That's in a cave
Somewhere
And he's walking back and forth
And he's got a machine gun in one hand and a grenade in the other hand 
And he's waiting
For me
And we're gonna meet
The Enemy
The Enemy
When I wake up in the morning and I don't know why
I'm thinking about
The Enemy
And when I wake up in the morning
Active
I'm thinking to myself
What can I do
To be ready for that moment
Which is coming
Which is coming
The part of the word that I've seen
Is a very dark place
It's a dark place
That's what war is
The Enemy
The Enemy
When I wake up in the morning and I don't know why
I'm thinking about
The Enemy
When your job
Which my job was
Was to expand that darkness
In many ways
I mean
War is about killing people
And so for me
When I look to someone that's successful
It's someone
That
Brings some light
Into that darkness
That darkness
The first people that come into my head
Are
Marc Lee
Who was one of my guys
First Seal killed in Iraq
Mike Monsoor
One of my guys
Second Seal killed in Iraq
Ryan Job
One of my guys
Wounded in Iraq
Blinded in both eyes
Made it home
Married his high school sweetheart
Got her pregnant
Finished his college degree
And after his 22nd surgery to repair the damage that was done to his head and face
There were complications and he died as well
But all of those guys
In all of that darkness
They did things
They made a sacrifice 
That was completely selfless
And to do that 
And to live 
And fight 
And die 
Like a warrior
That to me is success
And those guys
Are my heroes
