THE AMERICAN SOLDIER (C) Ron Burres 2004
(Song spoken MUSIC:
Battle hymn of the republic in background)
I AM THE
HEART AND SOUL OF OUR COUNTRIES FIGHTING MAN
WHO DIED
FIGHTING ON FOREIGN SOIL PROTECTING THOSE IN ANOTHER LAND
THEIR
FREEDOM WAS MY GOAL, YES FREEDOM WAS MY GOAL
I PROUDLY
CARRIED THE STARS AND STRIPES, THROUGH BATTLES IN FREEZING COLD
I'VE FOUGHT IN
DESERTS, ON LAND AND SEA, WITH A HEART BOTH BRAVE AND BOLD
IV’E DIED
ALONE ON FOREIGN SOIL WITH MY FAMILY CRYING THERE AT HOME.
I AM THE
SPIRIT OF THOUSANDS OF SOULS, THOSE WHO DIED BEFORE THEIR TIME
THEY GAVE
THEIR ALL FOR FELLOW MAN, THEY NOW REST IN SOME FOREIGN LAND
THEY FOUGHT
FOR FREEDOM, YES FREEDOM WAS THEIR GOAL
THEY FOUGHT
BESIDE ONE ANOTHER OTHER, REGARDLESS OF COLOR OR CREED
WITH
FAMILIES LEFT AT HOME TO MOURN, THEY CAME TO PROTECT A HUMAN NEED
WHERE ARE THOSE
OTHER COUNTRIES NOW, WHERE ARE THEY WHEN
WE BLEED,
STAND UP AND
BE COUNTED, STAND UP FOR WHAT IS RIGHT
STAND UP FOR
THOSE OPPRESSED FOR THOSE WHO CAN NOT FIGHT
STAND WITH
HEADS HELD HIGH STAND AND MAKE US PROUD AGAIN
WE FOUGHT
FOR WHAT WAS RIGHT OUR DEATHS WERE NOT
IN VAIN
GOD BLESS
THE U.S.A.
