An American Soldier |
 |
|
Wherever there is a cry for freedom you will find me
fighting for liberty;
I am an American soldier
My home is the home of the brave the land of the free.
I hail from the land where Lady Liberty stands proudly
beside the deep blue sea; the light from her torch
embracing all who seek shelter and a taste of liberty...
I hail from the land where the Eagle flies the skies
guarding all equally from freedom's enemy
Knowing that the liberty he guards for America helps
keep alive the American dream.
Wherever there is a cry for freedom you will find me
fighting for liberty; I am an American soldier
My home is the home of the brave the land of the free.
I hail from a land where Old Glory, my much loved American
flag,
Ripples in the sky, a reminder of times gone by
Of the brave men and women who fought hard and long
And never let a strip or star touch the ground
that liberty might live on.
I hail from a land where a soldier's not ashamed to bend on
hand and knee to give thanks to the God of our forefathers
Who's blood, sweat, tears and prayers went in to making
and keeping America free.
Wherever there is a cry for freedom you will find me
fighting for liberty, I am an American soldier
My home is the home of the brave the land of the free.
Wherever there is a cry for freedom you will find me.
Wearing my love for freedom and my caring for humanity
An American soldier ready to die that another might live
free. |
