Tim McGraw If You're Reading This

Around 12-Years ago, Tim McGraw recorded a song titled "If You're Reading This" which has to do with Soldiers or even Police officers coming home for the last time...

The person who posted this video had/has a great message, which I am sharing with all of you because of the tumultuous time we live in... The Writers name is not given, but his YouTube Name is given as "hippietta". These words are his, not mine, but I concur with his sentiments... Very meaning full...

"I'd like to tell you about The Oath Keepers. http://oathkeepers.org/oath/
They are military and law enforcement that has sworn to uphold their oath to defend the Constitution, not the politicians.

If you have served and sworn that oath, reaffirm your commitment to the American people and the Constitution of the United States of America on their site or at an Oath Keepers event. Many civilians are also taking the Oath, administered by an Oath Keeper, at Tea Parties and similar gatherings.

Now there is a forum set up by individual states so you can connect with others in your locale as well as with ppl (people) all across the land. You can track events and the testimonials volunteered by many Oath Keepers. http://oathkeepers.org/oath/

Another group I'd like you to know about is the Appleseed Project. http://appleseedinfo.org/ From these fine Patiots, you can learn the rifleman's quarter mile marksmanship and the real history of the first American Revolutionary War.

Tim McGraw has done a tremendous job on this song and I wanted to voice my feelings, too. This is a tribute from the heart to all those who are, were, or ever will be in harm's way to serve and protect freedom. This video is not about war, it's about people. Thank you all." hippietta

LYRICS:

"If You're Reading This" by Tim McGraw

If you're reading this
My Mommas sitting there
Looks like I only got a one way ticket over here
Sure wish I
Could give you one more kiss
And war was just a game we played when we were kids

I'm laying down my gun
I'm hanging up my boots
I'm up here with God and we're both watching over you

[Chorus:]
So lay me down
In that open field out on the edge of town
And know my soul
Is where my Momma always prayed
That it would go
And if you're reading this
I'm already home

If you're reading this
Half way around the world
I won’t be there
To see the birth of our little girl
I hope she looks like you
I hope she fights like me
Stands up for the innocent and the weak

I'm laying down my gun
I'm hanging up my boots
Tell dad I don't regret that I followed in his shoes

[Chorus]

If you're reading this
There’s going to come a day
When you'll move on
And find some one else
And that's OK
Just remember this
I'm in a better place
Where soldiers live in peace
And angels sing amazing grace

[Chorus]

Writer(s): Brett Warren, Tim Mcgraw, Brad Warren

I hope that you all enjoyed this song/Tribute...
Kerry
