“Walkin’ Away From Heaven” by Susan Giacona

V1
Heroes bringing liberty across the sea
Leavin’ behind a home and family
Bitter reminders, sweet freedom isn’t free
He kissed the love of his life and his babies goodbye That ship was leaving, time to fall in line
There were Tears of pain and pride
Side by side
Prechorus
Living a valiant life
Comes with sacrifice.
The miles apart would not pull them under
He whispered “hold on tight, we’re fighting the good fight together”….then he was
Chorus
Walking Away From Heaven
To fight the fury of hell
Determined and bold
He knew deep in his soul
He’d be back with a story of victory to tell
He loved his country and he loved her too
Leaving was breaking her heart he knew
He said I’m doin’ it for us
I’m doing it for you
I’m doing it for the Red White and Blue
Walking Away From Heaven
Walking Away From Heaven
V2
Waving at her as he stood on the bough
Courage and steel would bring him back somehow
They had to be strong
They had to believe.
Prechorus
