God Bless America ~ Freedom ~

A TRIBUTE TO FREEDOM

~THE MARINE~

We all came together,
Both young and old.
To fight for our freedom,
To stand and be bold.

In the midst of all evil,
We stand our ground,
And we protect our country
From all terror around.

Peace and not war,
Is what some people say.
But I'll give my life,
So you can live the American way

I give you the right,
To talk of your peace,
To stand in your groups,
And protest in our streets.

But still I fight on.
I don't bitch I don't whine.
I'm just one of the men,
Who is doing your time.

I'm harder than nails,
Stronger than any machine,
I'm the immortal soldier,
I'm a U.S. MARINE!

So stand in my shoes,
And leave from your home.
Fight for people who hate you,
With the protests they've shown.

Fight for the stranger,
Fight for the young,
So they all may have,
The great freedom you've won.

Fight for the sick,
Fight for the poor.
Fight for the cripple,
Who lives just next door.

But when your time comes,
do what I've done.
For if you stand up for freedom
You'll stand when the fights done.

By O'Puppy

As the sun comes up this morning
On the school yard next to me
I can see Old Glory waving
In familiar pageantry

And the paper boys delivers
All the news we'll need today
While the neighborhood is sleeping
Here in Hometown, USA

It's a life we take for granted
In a land where freedom rings
But there is a cost protecting
What a constitution means

Oh our soldiers fight with valor
To defend this nation proud
As their flag is burned in protest
By some angry waiving crowd

Now the distant drums beat louder
Still America stands tall
Without liberated allies
Who can't wait for us to fall

And the sun is slowly sinking
As the children run and play
While Old Glory keeps on waving
Here in Hometown, USA

Prayers now rise to heaven
For all in life who serve
Battles for their country
As freedom is preserved

Each one of you our heroes
Who sacrifice each day
Life and soul with dignity
Such courage you display

Hearts are always with you
In any place you dwell
Saluting you with honor
With love unparalleled

Each day a special blessing
Upon those we call "our brave"
Our countries greatest freedom
With memories engraved

Thank you for this honor
You give with pride each day
Those of all our "seasons"
Will never fade away

For each of you our promise
Of all our freedom saved
Each battleground now sacred
By footsteps that were paved.

~Soldier of Lonely~

Existing in darkness
alone in the night
A soldier of silence
in search of a light

Some shadow of reason
with hope in the wind
A journey where faith
is awaitng a friend

Where heart has a kingdom
and sunshine resides
To brighten forever
so love never hides,

Where silence surrenders
to Gods waterfall
That washes all sorrows
and cleanses all souls

Where heavenly angels
sing praises on high
Exchanging my armor
for new wings to fly
