I wanted it to write a positive and uplifting song for these times. I figured the best way was to say "thank you." That was the concept. smile

A lot of words. Even at that, way too many to thank.

Comments always appreciated.

The Front Lines (Thank You)


THE FRONT LINES (Thank You)

These are times like we’ve never seen before
It’s on TV
And it’s right outside of our doors
If we’re even gonna win this unexpected war
We need to stay safe inside

But then there are those
Who’ve had to answer a call
To be there for us
In spite of it all

So…
Thank you to you
Who stand on the front lines
Remember What you’re doin’
Is somebody’s lifeline

How do we say
When you’re put in harm's way
Thank you to you who
Stand on the front lines

To the one
Washing carts
To the one at the drive thru
To the clerk, the farmer, banker, plumber, grocer,
To all of you

That when it needs to be done
You are the ones
That come thru
So thank you to you who
Stand on the front lines

I’m saying my prayers
From down on my knees
For God to protect them
From this awful disease
For the mothers and fathers
The sons, and the daughters
Keep them all safe
Far and wide

They are the ones
Who’ve had to answer this call
To be there for us
In spite of it all

Thank you to you
Who stand on the front lines
Remember What you’re doin’
Is somebody’s lifeline

How do we say
When you’re put in harm's way
Thank you to you
Who stand on the front lines

To the truck drivers
And utility workers
To the pilot, installer, mechanic, and order takers

When it needs to be done
You are the ones
That come thru
So thank you to you
Who stand on the front lines
The front lines

(solo)

A salute to those
Serving in the armed forces
Ready for the call
Whatever the cause is

To the first responders
To those in medical services
To the EMT’s
The Doctors and the nurses

To the gas station attendant
And delivery driver
To the stocker, hotel staff, cashier
And the postal worker

Just too many to list
No job too small
The heroes of our nation
All for one, one for all

Thank you!
We thank you!
Thank you to you who
Who stand on the front lines
