Overboard

Basic Training Revisited

I hear a voice

Calling out to me!

In that instant

I drop down to my knees



I pray to you

Help me lords

preserve my sanity

for I feel like I am going overboard



Walking done the road

I felt likeI up and Died

I hear a voice in my head

And I know they are on my side



I pray to you

Help me lords

preserve my sanity

for I feel like I am going overboard



Bullets flying all around

Face is in the dirt

Explosions shake the earth.

Please lords dont let me be hurt



I pray to you

Help me lords

preserve my sanity

for I feel like I am going overboard





I see a figure in a suit

It motions me through the door

I walk right in I lift my mask

And almost hit the floor



I pray to you

Help me lords

preserve my sanity

for I feel like I am going overboard



Overboard is what happens when you don't know where to go

Overboard is what happens when you mind slams the door

How do you keep from going Overboard

How do you keep from going overboard



I pray to you

Help me lords

preserve my sanity

for I feel like I am going overboard
