Fellas, I See You(response remix to Leslie Dale Hall Ladies I see you)

[Verse 1] I see the nights you laced up your boots Kissed us on the head, said you’d come back soon Marching through the dust, sleeping in sand Carrying the weight of a whole homeland I see the ones standing guard at dawn Eyes on the wire ‘til the dark is gone Writing little letters in a crowded tent Sending back your heart with every word you sent I see the fear that you never would show Jokes in your mouth, but your hands shook slow You learned how to pray under foreign skies You kept us safe while you closed your eyes [Pre-Chorus] All those days you thought you might fall You bled, you broke, you still gave your all And if the world forgot your name I’m here to sing it out loud again [Chorus] Fellas, I see you I see you I see you You made it through Fellas, I see you I see you I see you Here’s a hug, take a bow [Verse 2] I see the steel boots on the factory floor Clocking in early, then you’re working some more Oil on your hands, ache in your back Still you bring the love this house might lack I see the roofers on the blazing beams Framers and the welders building our dreams Truckers on the highway all night long Hauling what we need while we sleep strong I see the ones fixing broken lines Snow in your hair in the power-out nights Nobody cheers when you’re in that truck But you hold this world when it’s out of luck [Pre-Chorus] All those days you thought you might fall You bled, you broke, you still gave your all And if the world forgot your name I’m here to sing it out loud again [Chorus] Fellas, I see you I see you I see you You made it through Fellas, I see you I see you I see you Here’s a hug, take a bow [Bridge] And the ones who wore the flag for free Who walked through fire so we could be Living our lives under peaceful skies That quiet comes at a heavy price And the ones in boots on the muddy ground Hard hats on where the sparks rain down If nobody told you today, I will You are enough, and you always will [Chorus] Fellas, I see you I see you I see you You made it through Fellas, I see you I see you I see you Here’s a hug, take a bow [Outro] This one’s for the fellas Yeah, I see you Yeah, I see you With you, we’re finally free
