A Soldier's Prayer
Rating:
Quality: (Quality: Unrated)
To help me understand
How Americans view their heroes
And how they judge a man
If being famous
Is looked upon with awe,
Something is wrong with our values
What are we fighting for?
I'm in the military
And proud of what I do
But I need to feel some strength and love
That's why I pray to you.
Some of our families left us
And now years have passed
I feel the burden and the stress
For each day could be our last
I'm in the field of combat
With bullets surrounding me,
There are few that care
For those who've died
Protecting those born free
I'm asking for some comfort
Some support, and one thing more
To get RESPECT and HONOR
From the Americans we fought for
You and I are heroes
Fighting for our land to be free
And 'tho no one has heard our names,
We're the heroes, you and me
Our awards weren't televised,
No speech with tears in our eyes
Why is our county too blind to see
That the heroes will always be
Those of us Who fought for peace,
We're the heroes, you and me
Those of us who fought for peace,
We're the heroes, you and me
