"Semper Fi"
by Ian Rhett

Semper Fi is a contraction of Semper Fidelis, the Marine Corps slogan. It means "Always Faithful"


1. 
Please hurry home
Y'know I can't help but worry about you
And I know that life goes on
But I don't know how I can without you
And I know why
You're Semper Fi
'til the end...

2. 
I didn't want you to go
But I knew that you would anyway
And I'm so proud of you
I mean it every time that I say it
And I know why
You're Semper Fi
'til the end...

CHORUS
And if there's a time 
For everything under the sun,
Then let these wars we're waging
Be the last ones ever to be won
By Anyone.

3.
Well I know that you're guarded
By your brothers and sisters in arms
And they'll always take care of you
Doing their best to keep you from harm
And I know why
You're Semper Fi
'til the end...

4.
And I don't want you to die
But I know that you would in a minute
Without even asking why
Doing your duty to the limit
And I know why
You're Semper Fi
'til the end...

CHORUS
And if there's a time 
For everything under the sun,
Then let these wars we're waging
Be the last ones ever to be won
By Anyone.


REFRAIN
And I know why
You're Semper Fi
'til the end...
