Military

I wake up at the crack of dawn No need to have to yawn My day starts early and I need to be strong Because I only fight for what’s right and not what’s wrong Hair up neat, above the collar and tight It all needs to be just right My uniform free from wrinkles and straight as can be Remember freedom is not free My boots laced up and tied tight Its time for me to go out and fight. Pants are bloused and tucked in Some people think what I do is a sin But what I do is fight for every one of you Even if you think what I do is true Early rise, head on pillow late, sometimes never. But I know it won’t be forever Proud to stand here and do this four our freedom Even if people think I am a demon I will continue to fight strong and proud I will scream it for the whole world to hear it nice and loud So stand tall and swallow your pride Because I am fighting on your side.
