The Soldier --- Aug. 12, 2009

THE
SOLDIER


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 fuss, I don't
whine.

I'm
just one of the people!
Who is doing your
time.


I'm
harder than nails,

Stronger
than any machine.

I'm
the immortal soldier,

I'm
a U.S. Soldier !!


So
stand in my shoes,

And
leave from your home.

Fight
for the people who hate
you,

With
the protests they've
shown.

Fight
for the stranger,

Fight
for the young.

So
they all may have,

The
greatest freedom you've
won


Fight
for the sick,

Fight
for the poor

Fight
for the cripple,

Who
lives next door.


But
when your time comes,

Do
what I've done.

For
if you stand up for
freedom,

You'll
stand when the fight's
done
