In the Navy,
Getting whipped into shape,
Getting Disciplined,
Getting my ass beat everyday...

Is it all worth it?
Is it worth the wait for her?
Should I go for four years away?
Should I go tour the world?

I say yes,
Yes it is worth the wait for that special girl.
Yes it is worth the four years.
Yes I shall tour the world.

It all sounds fun,
But alas,
It won't at the beginning,
And it'll hurt.

But I shall live,
And live to learn,
And learn to live,
And when I will come back,
You shall see a new man.

A new man that will have more respect for life.
A new man that will treat love with even more respect.
A new man that learned a lot from everywhere he's visited.
A new man, who will still act the same,
Look the same,
Smile the same,
And best of all...

This man,
six foot, two inches tall,
One hundred and fifty pounds,
Will be even more prepared to have this long wanted relationship,

I will show everyone what I am made of,
The guns and guts that I have inside,
Everything might seem different at first,
But wait a sec, take a look, and realize...

Darek is the same old Darek,
Always and forever.
