He Never Was Afraid

Joe spent two long years in Viet Nam
When he got home nobody gave a damn
The army handed him the Purple Heart
When one stray land mine tore Joe’s legs apart
But he never was afraid of it all
He knew it wasn’t him who made the call
And it didn’t matter how the cards were dealt
He knew that God would catch him if he fell
At forty five still in the prime of life
With three grown kids raised by Joe and his wife
He stopped for gas down at the corner store
When shots rang out and Joe fell to the floor
But he never was afraid of it all
He knew it wasn’t him who made the call
And it didn’t matter how the cards were dealt
He knew that God would catch him if he fell
The sirens cried out in the rain and Joe told medics through the pain
Please give my wife and kids a call tell em God will catch me if I fall
And then he died
But he never was afraid of it all
He knew it wasn’t him who made the call
And it didn’t matter how the cards were dealt
He knew that God would catch him if he fell
And God was there to catch him when he fell
