Our Country
To all the military personnel
Men and women alike
Our hearts go out to all of you
As you are about to strike.
You knew this was a possibility
When you took that oath to serve
We need your bravery and loyalty
Our country to preserve.
Americans are frightened
Though proud beyond belief
Knowing that you are there
Bringing our fears some relief.
We will pray for your safety
For a rapid end to this fight
That the evil people of this world
Learn the United States you do not spite.
So when you leave our homeland
To a fate which is unknown
All Americans are with you
None of you are alone.
