On Bended Knee

NONE OF THE BRAVE NONE OF THE HONORABLE NONE OF THE ABOVE Look around at what you have, everything in life thousands upon thousands died, trying to end the strife While some at home (were raised to hate) some raised with honor and pride so many times a doorbell rang, their loved one's lost (they cried) This went on for many years (a hundred plus at best) for you (so you could play your games) our soldiers laid to rest The faith in side them kept them going, all this for our FLAG while some at home would turn away, on knee their tails just wag Soldiers didn't run or hide or get down on one knee they stood their ground (Round after Round) just for you and me They fought hard and died for you, while you played hard to win never once in all the battles did they know (the color of your skin) Courage, Bravery, (you wouldn't know), but without a second thought you for "MILLIONS" fought for "yards" "for our FLAG our soldiers fought"
