Verso 1: He came up to the flagpole to raise her one more time His wrinkled hands looked tired and worn but they worked just fine He readied Old Glory to fly over head Raised her up, gave a salute, and this is what he said I fought for you so soar through the sky On distant beaches over there I saw some buddies die I came back with scars some will never know It’s the price we pay when we choose to go This land that I love and my family I fought for you so we could be free Verso 2: Kids sitting in a classroom parents sharing what they do Little Suzie held her daddy’s hand she was nervous too A voice says, “He has no legs” murmurs all around Suzie’s daddy stood up tall and with a voice that's proud he said... I fought for you so you could live in peace I gave all had and more and it took all of me And I’d gladly do it all again Just to guard you my little friend This land that I love and my family I fought for you so you could be free Bridge We have all made a promise it’s a solemn vow To defend our country’s borders when the wolves begin to howl We’re the sheepdog we’re the watcher standing guard day and night When they show up to do you harm we will bring the fight We’ll fight for you so you can sleep tonight Don’t you worry your precious head we will be alright We’re prepared for this and it’s what we do We’ll keep danger away from you This land that we love and our families We fight for you so we can be free Verso 3: She was sitting in her back yard playing with her son It had been awhile since she’d seen him smile and have this much fun But when he asked her “Mommy, why were you gone so long?” With a tug in her chest she praised her little man for being so strong I fought for you so you wouldn’t have to fight I traveled all around the world carrying freedom’s light To protect the weary, weak, and the poor When evil threatens at their door This land that I love and my family I fought for you so you could be free We’ll fight for you so you can sleep tonight Don’t you worry your precious head we will be alright We’re prepared for this and it’s what we do We’ll keep danger away from you This land that we love and our families We fight for you so we can be free () 2016
