Only the Brave

Their sacrifice for country's sake No hero does a coward make Sleeps safe in bed throughout the night While better men will stand and fight Those few who rush when nations call Are there to breach the rampart's wall Dodging bullets while bombs explode No man left behind is their code Relying on one another Side by side, brother to brother The brave is strengthened by their will The coward weakly whimpers still
