Lyrics

The Call

[Intro: sample]

Okay, I will be back, sorry

[Sample of Terry Britten]

Rising to the call

I'll give my life and all… but…

Rising to the call

I'll give my life and all… but…

Even though I know

The time has come to go

To the call

I'll give my life and all… but…

[Outro: sample]

Uh, okay, uh
