ODE TO AMERICA

In this time of war and sorrow
Let's join in prayer for a free tomorrow.
Let's all join together
Despite race, creed or color,
and truly realize thee is no other
"AMERICA"

To those who cry and march around
I pray aloud when I hear their sound.
Please let them protest in Kuwait,
I hear them pray, They cannot wait,
"TO GET BACK TO AMERICA"

Give the protesters uniform and gun
including old folks and the young.
Ship them to Kuwait so fast
and then we'll see how long it lasts,
because they will pray,
"RETURN ME TO AMERICA"

We give our daughters, fathers, and sons
Now they are the important ones.
Let us pray for all of our troops,
"STANDING TOGETHER, THAT'S AMERICA

Kneel down tonight and truly pray
our troops make us a peaceful day.
No bombs are falling on our heads,
But to protect us friends are dead.
"BECAUSE THEY LOVE AMERICA"

We do not have to sit in fear,
Our troops are there with all their gear.
So stand behind our troops today,
Raise your voices loud and say,
"THEY ARE GIVING US AMERICA"

To all who really have a gripe,
get rid of signs and truly fight.
Go to the desert, give a hand, and then
perhaps you'll give a damn and pray
"YOU WERE HOME IN AMERICA"

Sometimes a man just has to fight,
for what he truly feels is right.
To keep our freedom, right or wrong,
and keep us safe where we belong.
"IN AMERICA"

Our president made no mistake
to bomb the hell out of Kuwait.
If he had waited, they could take
"OUR AMERICA"

To all our troops, let prayers last,
remember wars already past,
Our troops for years have kept us safe,
May God protect them in His Grace,
Because of them, We are
"LIVING FREE IN AMERICA"
