The Soldier's Song

We live in a land of great pride, where brave men and women have died, to preserve our right to be free, O God, be merciful to me. Lives lost and broken hearts, wars tearing families apart, and the things soldiers must do and see, O God, be merciful to me. They fight for love, honor, and glory, all those in uniform have a story, just so people can live; like you and me, O God, be merciful to me. They may break down or they may cry out, but if you only listen to their shout, it's the voice of a hero, can't you see! O God, be merciful to me. We laugh and wave the red, white, and blue, and thank the soldiers for all they do, to assure that we'll always be free, O God, be merciful to me.
