American Soldier

im just trying to be
a father raise a daughter
and a son be a lover
to their mother
i will always do my duty
no matter the sacrefice

ive counted up the cost
I KNOW THE SACREFICE
i bear that cross with honor
CAUSE FREEDOM DONT
COME FREE I AM AN
AMERICAN SOLDIER

i stand by my brothers and
sisters you can 
sleep in peace tonight
cause im out here on the front 
line providing for
our future is my 
responsibilty
