| The Patriots of Patriotism | 
|
| They stand so bold in dawn or dusk
Little drummer boys so fawn of the musk
They fired their arms to fight for their lives
They ducked behind rocks and their sandbags while dodging grenades and knives
They fight for their country of Red, White, and Blue
Making wishes that they hope will come true
With pride and honor they stand straight and tall
Hoping that another soldier to the ground will not fall
They sing the Star Spangled Banner to the flag so high in the sky
The same flag with stars and stripes of red, white, and blue that made their wishes come true
They sing the victory song and hit that big gong
The war is now over, but there is not one sound nor cry
For the soldiers have respect for the soldiers who have died
For now there are only tears and cries of joy
No more pain or wounds for they are all wrapped up in bandages
There is no more needs for care packages just bundles of toys
For days and days people who have lost their loved ones go to the cemetery
They have broken hearts, but they are healed knowing
that their loved ones are up in heaven
They are healed because they know they died for their country
Knowing that their loved ones would be free
That they wouldn't have to go through the same degree
Ding! The gong has rung once again
Everyone is free
No more slaves, no more war
Most people just shut the door
But when they think my loved one is a hero
They saved the day
My loved one's a hero
They might be gone but that isn't the point
They're up in heaven in streets of gold, because they saved us
They saved our little country of Red, White. and Blue
They didn't just save the U.S.A. for me . . . they saved it for you! | By Emily Garcia
