Stop When You See a Uniform

Stop right there when you see those boots and a uniform coming your way Get off your cellphone, and look him in the eyes And drop that old briefcase If you wanna see what a hero looks like This might be your chance Before you go back home To your safe little world Y'all don't you understand? These are the men and women that keep us living Safe inside our homes And if you took one minute Your head would be spinning To see the things that they know So, stop what you're doing Walk up to him and tell him how much it means That every night you drift off to sleep They're all across the planet Making sure you're free Stop when you see a uniform Don't you know who you just walked past With your headphones in today You're all concerned with your own little world just outside the terminal gate They're coming home from a whole other world That we know nothing about So, the least we can give them is a standing ovation It's time to hear us shout These are the men and women who keep us living Safe inside our homes And if you took one minute Your head would be spinning To see the things that they know So, stop what you're doing Walk up to him and tell him how much it means That every night you drift off to sleep They're all across the planet Making sure you're free Stop when you see a uniform Whoa-oh-oh Hmm-hmm Whoa-oh-oh Yeah, these are the men and women who keep us living Safe inside our homes And if you took one minute Your head would be spinning To see the things that they know So, stop what you're doing Walk up to him and tell him how much it means That every night you drift off to sleep They've got it covered Protecting you and me Stop when you see a uniform God bless you, you are safe
