A tribute to those who fought for our Independence
Oh say, oh say can you see The hearts of the warriors who made us
free? From all walks of life these heroes they came And after their fight,
were never the same.
The Black from the ghetto, the Asian from the
quarry, The Mexican from the field, they all have their story. But there
is one single thing that they all share, For peace in America they love and
they care.
Today men and women stand side by side, On the backs of
these people, your freedom rides. "For what," do you ask, "do they do this
great deed?" The pay is so low, it can not be greed.
I tell you my
friend It's out of Honor and Pride, That these ordinary warriors Live
to serve, as many have died.
It is the Army by land and the Navy by
sea, These soldiers and sailors, that keep us so free. The Air Force and
Marines work miraculous tasks, To watch o'er our country, in whose freedom we
bask.
Let us return to that glorious first day, When we said to our
oppressors, "You can not stay!" "It is from God we are given the freedom to
choose, And these divine liberties we shall not lose."
So what will
you do, if you choose not to fight, To protect and defend all that is
right? For tolerance and freedom, you must vote and you should pray… That
the battle for peace and prosperity will never go away.
If you live in
America, it is truly a sin, If in your heart you don't find the warrior
within.
