Flag WARRIOR'S HEART

A tribute to those who fought for our Independence

Oh say, oh say can you see
The hearts of the warriors who made us free?
From all walks of life these heroes they came
And after their fight, were never the same.

The Black from the ghetto, the Asian from the quarry,
The Mexican from the field, they all have their story.
But there is one single thing that they all share,
For peace in America they love and they care.

Today men and women stand side by side,
On the backs of these people, your freedom rides.
"For what," do you ask, "do they do this great deed?"
The pay is so low, it can not be greed.

I tell you my friend
It's out of Honor and Pride,
That these ordinary warriors
Live to serve, as many have died.

It is the Army by land and the Navy by sea,
These soldiers and sailors, that keep us so free.
The Air Force and Marines work miraculous tasks,
To watch o'er our country, in whose freedom we bask.

Let us return to that glorious first day,
When we said to our oppressors, "You can not stay!"
"It is from God we are given the freedom to choose,
And these divine liberties we shall not lose."

So what will you do, if you choose not to fight,
To protect and defend all that is right?
For tolerance and freedom, you must vote and you should pray…
That the battle for peace and prosperity will never go away.

If you live in America, it is truly a sin,
If in your heart you don't find the warrior within.
