Brothers in My Hands(men and women mix)

[Intro] (Yeah) Boots in the dust, rotor blades in the sky Heart steady beat like the clock ticking by Steel in my hands, but I'm calm in the fire Just another call on the radio wire [Verse 1] Blood on the sand and the sirens in my head I hear a brother calling out, "Don’t let me end up dead" I’m running through the tracers, feel ’em cutting through the smoke Counting every second, every breath, every choke Hands shaking but I keep ‘em steady on the wound Talking in his ear, "We’re getting out of here soon" I’m just a pair of hands in a world gone cold Trying to keep a heartbeat, trying to bring him home [Chorus] I’m not a hero, I’m just here to stand Between the reaper and my brother’s hand Stitching up the broken in the dead of night So others may live, I just hold the line If someone’s in the fire and they call my name I’ll run through the dark, through the fear, through the flame I’m not a hero, I just do what I can So others may live, I’ve got brothers in my hands [Verse 2] Dust in my lungs, smell of metal in the air We land in the chaos, everybody’s staring scared I don’t see glory, I just see another face Somebody’s son lying there in this place Tourniquet tight while the world spins loud I tune out the bullets and the screaming crowd Checking for a pulse like a prayer in the rain Fighting for a stranger like we share the same name Night after night, when the rotors fade out I wash off the red, but I still hear the shouts I’m just doing what I swore when I signed that day To carry who I can from the edge of the grave [Chorus] I’m not a hero, I’m just here to stand Between the reaper and my brother’s hand Stitching up the broken in the dead of night So others may live, I just hold the line If someone’s in the fire and they call my name I’ll run through the dark, through the fear, through the flame I’m not a hero, I just do what I can So others may live, I’ve got brothers in my hands [Bridge] When the rotors lift and the ground falls away I’m counting every heartbeat, whisper, "Stay, just stay" If I bring you home, that’s the only reward Your mother gets a hug, not a folded flag and sword I don’t need medals, I don’t need a song Just give me one more chance to prove we belong Out here in the fire, where the brave souls bleed I’m just one more medic trying to meet the need [Chorus] I’m not a hero, I’m just here to stand Between the reaper and my brother’s hand Stitching up the broken in the dead of night So others may live, I just hold the line If someone’s in the fire and they call my name I’ll run through the dark, through the fear, through the flame I’m not a hero, I just do what I can So others may live, I’ve got brothers in my hands [Outro] When the sirens fade and the dawn breaks through I’ll lace my boots, ‘cause there’s more work to do I’m not a hero, just a man in the fight Holding on to lives in the long hard night
