Red, White, Blue

Brian McKnight

Baby 
Tomorrow I'ma hafta fight 
Leaving at first light 
And all I can think of is you 

Baby 
I can hear you tryin not to cry 
I'm afraid and I ain't gonna lie 
I gotta do what I've been trained to do 

I'm a little tired, but I'm doin fine 
I got my brothers back and he's watching mine 
Just keep praying that we'll all make it through 

I fight for what's right 
And I fight for what is true 
Mostly I'm fighting to get back to you 
We don't see black 
We don't see white 
We just see what we hafta do 
All we see is red, white, and blue 
Fighting for our red, white, and blue 

Baby 
How's our little baby girl? 
Does she know her daddy's half way round the world? 
Tell her she is my heart 
Well... 
I've only seen her in a photograph 
Don't know whether to cry or laugh 
While I'm out here in the dark 

I get so damn tired but I'm doin fine 
Got my brothers back and he's watchin mine 
Just keep prayin that we'll all make it through 

I fight for what's right 
And I fight for what is true 
Mostly I'm fighting to get back to you 
We don't see black 
We don't see white 
We don't see what we hafta do 
All we see is red, white, and blue 
Fighting for our red, white, and blue 

I don't know the reasons why 
Sometimes at night I sit and cry 
It's hard to tell you what I'm goin through 
What I'm goin through... 
When all we have is this telephone 
On this telephone... 
Don't know when I'll be comin home 
I just need you to keep praying that I do 

I fight for what's right 
And I fight for what is true 
Mostly I'm fighting to get back to you 
We don't see black 
We don't see white 
We don't see what we hafta do 
All we see is red, white, and blue 
All we see is red, white, and blue 
Fighting for our red, white, and blue
