Live Free Or Die

These words are very powerful and should give you food for thought
We will always stand by our morals and never let our liberties be bought
We fight for what we believe and work our fingers to the bone
We know exactly what we have and we will never stand alone

We are the American people, over 400 million strong
We have proven our resilience and we are right where we belong
We work for what we have and keep what we have earned
We are the guardians of this land and we will never be adjourned

We have our heroes and our legends they are men and women not machines
They are the Army and the Air force, the Coast Guard, Navy and Marines
These are the best we have to offer, each one of them top notch
They have our backs both day and night and they are always keeping watch

If the need should ever arise and I am called on for a fight
I will grab my boots and gun and I will always do what’s right
For those who seek to destroy us, you will fail and this is why
I will give my life for freedom; I will live free or I will die

I'm a little patriotic, what can I say. Most Americans stand up for what's right and good. You just see the bad ones on T.V.
