Gatekeepers of the Land of the Free

From what I have seen America is a well-oiled machine Our military always ready to fight Together with so much might Leaving their homes night after night Saying goodbye believing it's not your last sight Living in a hole with rations and a bedroll Or on a battleship ready to rip as they skip To the next flip In the air, so they can take care of our guys As they buzz the sky blowing their targets up From way up high Trained to shoot Giving our enemies the boot Standing proudly always ready to salute The best at bagging America's enemies So we might know this land of the free Home to you and me Our sons and daughters they stand and fight For our constitutional right They constantly keep sight wearing their dog tags Ready to go to their grave in any conflict wave They pave the way so the rest of us Have a world that's not ready to bust Never look at what they do with disgust Trust our generals do it because they must The people of the world need to stand strong So today's leaders will have to get along Keeping balance in the kingdom of God Like a lightning rod ,all take their oath with a nod Live or die you will never hear them asking why Americas bravest they fought the wars So we might know this land of the free This land God blessed for you and me Let us all see our military is why we live free Be sure and pray that they all find their way Unfortunately, some are left as reminders Of the price we had to pay for their valor Until their last day Be sure you stand up and say Thank you for your service today For the sacrifices you have made along the way So we might know this land God blessed For you and me So we can live free Because our brothers and sisters Gave up so much for you and me They are still the gatekeepers That holds the key To why this land is still free Like God intended it to be
