Текст песни Forged By Fire

Daryl Burgess / Ron Hellard



it was hard for him to get out of bed

when the phone rang, sleep-eyed she said

Charlie's drunk again

why don't you just let it ring

through the years he'd alaways picked it up

for the guy who came back and saved his butt

what they have in common is a brotherhood

so few could understand

chorus

they were forged by fire

hard times you get beyond

gives you an unbreakable bond

forged by fire

when you pray to god, bet the odds

and walk through hell together

you're forever

forged by fire



the young GI said from his VA bed


why you wanna hang out with us broken men

when you could be spending your time with your family and friends

he told him son, you're family too

i see myself when i look at you

in a place and time you don't forget

and even tho we've just met

we're chorus



he said goodbye GI see you next week

then he rolled himself out to the street

it was pretty hard for him to get his van

and throw the wheelchair in the back

he was headed home ready to unwind

Charlie called can you help me one more time

he said Chuck, I'll be there on the double

for a brother, it's no trouble

chorus
