I wrote this song to thank the troops for their incredible sacrifice.
Lyrics
Verse 1:
He looks into her eyes
She puts her hope in his return
How hard it must be for them
Uncertain war approachin'
She starts to cry
He gets on the plane, and waves goodbye
Verse 2:
It's been her life long dream
To proudly serve as a Marine
She writes her son a letter from Baghdad
Wishing mommy was home holding him
But she's got a job to do
She's committed to see it through
Chorus:
Thank you, for your sacrifice
The freedom that you bring
Thank you, for laying down your life
And giving everything
For me, for my family
We thank you
Verse 3:
There's a knock at the door
It's the worst of their fears
Their son's been killed in Irag
Another casualty of combat
He wouldn't want them to cry
For our country he died (to chorus)
Bridge:
To our troops around the world
Brave men and woman fighting for us
We wave red, white and blue
Our prayers go out to you (to chorus)
