Fight On

Fight on my daughter Fight on my son Reap the rewards For what your elders hath done Believe in your country Your loyalties profound Run deep does your allegiance Undying adherence doth confound Fight on my daughter Fight on my son Reap the rewards For what your alliance hath done Wavering fidelity Is not a true American make For in time we must all pay homage To those who stand strong, and yet opaque Fight on my daughter Fight on my son Reap the rewards For what your brothers hath done Unique from any other This country's integrity runs clear From the brazen Oklahoma skies To the Appalachian mountaintops view clear Fight on my daughter Fight on my son Reap the rewards For what your soldiers hath done Every snowflake that drifts onto our soil Every wave that crashes down Every soldier that goes off to fight our fight They come, then go without a sound Fight on my daughter Fight on my son Reap the rewards For what the unseen hath done
