I Wake Up Early (Thinking About the Enemy)

[Verse 1]
So I wake up early
I wake up at 445
I like to have that psychological win over 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 know 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 rocking back and forth
And he's got a machine gun in one hand
And a grenade in the other
And he's waiting for me
And we're going to meet

[Chorus]
The enemy
The enemy
When I wake up in the morning and I don't know why
I'm thinking about the enemy

[Verse 2]
And when I wake up in the morning
I'm thinking to myself what can I do to be ready
For that moment which is coming
The part of the world that I've seen is a very dark place
It's a dark place, that's what war is

[Chorus]
The enemy
The enemy
When I wake up in the morning and I don't know why
I'm thinking about the enemy

[Verse 3]
When your job is
When my job was to expand that darkness in many ways
I mean war is about killing people
And so for me when I look for someone that is successful
It's someone that brings some light into that darkness
That darkness
The first people that come to 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 that damage
That was done to his head and face, there were complications
And he died as well
But all of those guys, in all 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
