American / My Son (Joel)
Here's to you Marine,of whom I am so Prowd,
You Serve so Strong and Stand so Tall,
you inspire-others to aspire,
The uniform so few will wear.
I stand in awe of you
and reguard your deed's true valor.
My heart it swells, that's true...
I know;
you will not back up
you will not break
your resolve is forged
only orders! you'll take.
You stand accused
the world will say - how unjust!
this course they take
Knowing in your absence...a more sure mistake.
The country you serve
they mock, they deride.
So blind that, You provide
the foundation for freedom - the very one,
on which their speach does ride.
I Love you and forgive them,
they're Ignorant, they dont know.
That what you fight to hand them,
they can...No other way Grow!
