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
