These Four Years
It seems so long ago since we started here-
We hid it well, but in our hearts there was fear-
On the Banks of the Ashley, we became reborn men-
Challenged again and again, never to be the same-
We were taught things some of us knew-
But throughout the time, we all grew-
Stronger in spirit and closer in mind-
And the result of it all, better men you'll never find - you'll never find
(Chorus)
The boys of Alpha, we went through it all-
Don't know how or why, but we found the call-
To be something different, so achieve something more-
God showed us the hallway, but we found the door - we found the door
The weekend sweat parties, the Friday Spirit Runs-
Call us crazy, but we were havin' fun-
Painting the banners, and sweep details at noon-
Missing home late at night, crying to the moon-
The tours we walked, the cons we sat-
The beer we drank, oh the times we had-
The losses we suffered, the triumphs gained-
No reasoning why we never behaved - we never behaved
(Chorus)
The boys of Alpha, we went through it all-
Don't know how or why, but we found the call-
To be something different, so achieve something more-
God showed us the hallway, but we found the door - we found the door
We look back at those times and laugh now-
And I bet we all say the same thing - "wow"
Where did These Four Years go?
I'll tell you my brothers-I don't know-
Give it a year, and another four-
And we'll be back again-drinkin' some more-
Talking and laughing, catching up on the times-
Looking for those of us we can't find-
(Chorus)
The boys of Alpha, we went through it all-
Don't know how or why, but we found the call-
To be something different, so achieve something more-
God showed us the hallway, but we found the door - we found the door
The boys of Alpha, we went through it all-
Don't know how or why, but we found the call-
To be different, so achieve something more-
God showed us the hallway, but we found the door - we found the door
