[Verse 1]

Blackbird flyin' into the fire

Another 9-line coming through wire

Dust off dust off time to fly

Blind to a midnight sky

St. Michael's medallion in my hand

Controlled crash in the desert sand

Enemy fire a bleeding man

Turn and burn just as fast as we can

[Chorus]

I didn't come here for a fight

You sent me here to save lives

But I'm losing my faith losing my patience patience

Feels like I'm out here on my own

No emotion cold as stone

Can't you see the toll that it's takin' takin'

God I'm the one needing savin' savin'

[Verse 2]

Well God you said you had my six

But now I'm home and I can't fix

My broken mind from playing tricks

When I left my kids was just kids

[Chorus]

I didn't go there for a fight

You sent me there to save lives

But I'm losing my faith losing my patience patience

Feels like I'm out here on my own

No emotion cold as stone

Can't you see the toll that it's takin' takin'

God I'm the one needing savin' savin'

[Bridge]

Time past and I finally start to see

The kinda man in the mirror I'm trying to be

Well my friends and family

Aw they never lost faith in me

They even got me back here in this pew

Damning God for all he put me through

He said you might've lost faith in me Stu

But I never lost faith in you and he said

[Chorus]

I didn't come here for a fight

Stu you saved so many lives

You gave people faith through your patience patience

You were never out there on your own

You always had a family and a home

My hand's still here for the takin' takin'

And I'm always here when you need savin' savin'

Yeah I'm always here when you need savin' savin'

I'm always here when you need savin' savin'
