Daddy don't be sad
Daddy don't cry
I'm with the Elite combat force
I was born to die.
Don't worry about me
I'll be alright
I'm with the Elite combat force
I was born to fight.
I'm with a band of brothers
and sisters few
they're training me
to be something totally new.
To put on that uniform
Honor, Courage, Commitment
Let me go without a fight
Remember, I'm watching over you tonight.
I'm not afraid to go
I'm not afraid to fight
The Marine Corps motto is Do or Die
Semper Fi.
I'm fighting for you
To keep you safe
'Cause you mean the world to me
So please just let it be.
I love you
I'll miss you
You'll be safe enough tonight
Remember to keep me forever in your sight.
You'll be in my mind and heart
Through lifetimes gone past
I'm with the Elite combat force
And I'm not going to be the last.
