lyrics

WE WERE WATCHED OVER
Dustin Wright / Gary Nicholson / Darden Smith

Humvee in the middle of the night
Racing home before the morning light
Presence patrol doing what we were told to do
Out of nowhere an IED
Blew up right in front of me
Tower of fire somehow we made it through

We were watched over
We were watched over
We were watched over
From above

We took incoming all night long
Hitting us hard till the dawn
Then came that moment time froze for me
I heard the whistle I saw the flash
I felt the gravel hit my back
Gave me good reason to get down on my knees
I knew…

Yeah we were trained and we were doing our job
Someone else was calling those shots
Something divine protected us
You can call it karma call it luck
But I know we were saved that night by love
