God So Loved America

God so Loved America
life was never intended to be easy
without turmoil, heartache, trouble or pain
those who appear to be successful and happy 
have walked through their own valley of darkness

those who have given their lives and limbs so we can be free
are special men and women in our hearts, 
our minds our souls for all of history
Americans who have never served and never intend to 
owe so much to those who have

all patriot honorable Americans shed a tear
when teachers professors and students
desecrate our flag and our fallen heroes
that act alone makes our Statue of Liberty weep

the thousands of white crosses spread across the seas
marking the graves of the brave men who gave their lives
are our American heroes we love so dear

God has a special place in Heaven
for our service men and women who have died
and never coming home again
the thunder of battles past do not last

we live in America the home of the brave 
the greatest country in history
God so loved America he made soldiers to keep us free
