Afghanistan
Read your paper tonight with your heart;
Truly feel the cost of our freedom.
Our Marines, Army, Air Force, and Navy protect
On this forsaken land in the middle of chaos.
Yemen, Libya, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan;
The fires simmering this cauldron of unrest.
All volunteer, each serving by their choice;
With dignity and honor representing freedom.
Taken out of the gentle backdrop on America;
Placed in a land where even the sands are hostile.
These men and women stand in the gap for us;
With firmness containing those who would destroy.
Battles come quickly, a sudden fire-fight;
Then they withdrawal back into the mountains.
We must pray for their safety every day;
Raising from our comfortable beds, secure.
We must pray for their safety every day;
Not failing in our part to support their efforts.
We must pray for their safety every day;
Reaching into our hearts for honest and sincere words.
We must pray for their safety every day;
Honoring each and every man and woman serving.
We must pray for their safety every day…
We must pray for their safety every night…
We must pray for their safety in every way.
Afghanistan.
