It's time to sleep
I've been relieved

My rifle at my side
My knife in it's sheath

Lord let me live another day
As I put myself in harms way

I made my choice, I took the oath
I stand for freedom, but I don't boast

My God, my country, my family
The things I hold so dear

With these all on my side
There's nothing for me to fear

But if I should fall before my next relief
I will stand before you Lord with honor and dignity

So, while I'm here please make me strong
To fight the battles and right what's wrong

God Bless America

My belly presses the dirt
Prone, I am still
As sand covers me head to toe.

Desolate barren road,
Tiny grains swirling are blinding.
Still my scope searches for my foe.

A white pick up truck
A man scrambles to set his trap.
Right on time, just as I was told.

His eyes appear over a scarf.
A father perhaps, definitely one's son
To me he has no soul.

One last breath of life,
He jerks violently around
And left in an awkward fold.

The convoy follows
By taking one life
I have a hundred to show.


For every fallen soldier,
Who died in a foreign land,

To protect our freedom and liberty,
United we shall stand.

They always had a good attitude,
Their hearts pure and true,

They have earned our gratitude,
For a hero we see in you.

No matter what they still shall fight,
For that is what they do,

A spark of hope they shall ignite,
The dream of peace, they pursue.

Today America thanks you all,
For all that you have done,

Together we have stood so tall,
One nation, one family, one son.
