For My Country

Wearing a uniform takes a lot of COURAGE
Whether it smells like lilac or dirt
From the middle east
                                                                                                                       To the soil of the
USA

The crave you get when it's time
Sleep isn't an option
You look at old pictures and a smile begins to come to life  like a plant getting waterd

While the rest of us sit back in

                                                 L
                                                     E
                                                          I
                                                              S
                                                                   U
                                                                        R
                                                                              E

 

 


They’re out there clashing with the enemy
The earth that god created is under intense fire

Wearing a uniform takes a lot of COURAGE
