They Opened Up the Door for Me”
By David K. Winnett, Jr. Captain, USMC (Ret.)

Picking up the pieces
Of heroes gone before
Never took the time to see
They opened up the door for me
I guess I gotta know just why
They gave their all and died
Just so I could live and be free
They opened up the door for me
How can I ever repay
The debt these heroes levied on me
How can I carry this guilt
That it wasn’t me
I’m just left to wonder why
They opened up the door for me
Just where did they come from
Why did God make them the one
Why them and not me
How can I ever see
They opened up the door for me
I’ll go a lifetime wondrin why
Why them and not me
But for now I’ll just cry and pray
That they gave me one more day
How can I ever repay
The debt these heroes levied on me
How can I carry this guilt
That it wasn’t me
I’m just left here wonderin why
They opened up the door for me
