American soldiers


I give thanks to those who walk bravely into war.
What theybelieve in, what they are fighting for.
Restoring hope, to where hope just didn't belong.
It amazes me that their courage is this strong.
They left their families a whole world away,
to help so many people find a better way.
So many men and women lives on the line.
Our countries freedom always on their mind.
Proudly wave the red white and blue.
Gladly standing tall as they salute.
They know what needs to be done.
So that this horrible war can be won.
They know the price some friends will pay.
The soldiers for hope, they will pray.
It's all about freedom, that's what it's for.
I think that something worth fighting for.
Raise the flag don't burn her down,
Your country needs you now.
Give your support, we are at war,
remember what we are fighting for.
