No Apologies

No Apologies
 
For being stubborn in my beliefs
Unwilling to bend to pressure
I offer no apologies

For loving freedom
And those who protect it
I offer no apologies

For hating big government
And everything it stands for
I offer no apologies

For putting God first
And living for him
I offer no apologies

For sheltering my son
From a world in decay
I offer no apologies

For not being part of the crowd
And setting a higher personal standard
I offer no apologies

For being who I am
And being consistent
I offer no apologies
