Little Green Army Men

The saga continues

It's so hard to maintain focus, there's a lot to get into

Trying to stop my descent to a new low

Because every day is a new show

These characters and actors create distractions

And they're backing up all my new growth

We stretch ourselves to the breaking point just to live fruitful

Conduct ourselves for other's approval if we all truthful

It's so unfulfilling, never gaining satisfaction

I just keep moving forward

Lord, don't let me lose this traction

You're giving me the strength to press on everyday

God so, I write these simple songs, but I don't quit my day job

I am a provider, and I'm blessed to be one

So I keep my complaining low

And when that alarm rings, I go yes, Lord

I miss those little green army men

That's all it took to make me smile back then

These sacrifices wasn't on my radar, in my backyard

Now I'm those little green army men

Waking up to get it out the dirt again

Whatever keeps the smiles on their face God

Day by day Job

Yeah, all these questions they aren't for me to figure out

My purpose just seems so much bigger now

I don't make excuses, I know what's at stake

I know my place, and I know I'll give it all it takes

They ain't gone to make no statues of me and that's fine

Long as my children look back and realize

That the time they had for bike riding

Or maybe for some trampoline jumping

Came from Dad's hard work

And that's what made the work mean something

Their story becomes mine, the play time that's earned

Gets passed down through generations when it becomes their turn

We all those little green army men and women now

Fighting our own personal wars to make our family proud (every day)

I miss those little green army men

That's all it took to make me smile back then

These sacrifices wasn't on my radar, in my backyard

Now I'm those little green army men

Waking up to get it out the dirt again
