It's nice to be remembered
When you're so far away.
To realize you're in our thoughts
On any given day.
You wonder how this can be true when we've never met before,
Well, it's not really necessary to personally shake your hand.
It's just enough for me to know
You're in a strange and distant land.
You're there so I can be here
And live my life without the fear
Of giving up my freedom,
And then I shed a tear.
Thank you for the risk you take as each new day arrives,
And for the price you pay to preserve so many, many lives.
Freedom is a precious thing that sometimes makes my heart sing--
Or weep.
Another day and another way
To serve the land we love.
Another night and another fight
To survive and think of home...
The land of the free
And the home of the brave!
God bless you, soldier,
And please come home soon! |
