Respect

Twisted Metal, broken mortar Tears of sorrow, for the dead we honor Red, white, and blue These colors fly high, for you and I True in my heart through my countries eyes “In God we trust” I do and I will For only He knows, beyond the desert hills Tears and sweat upon my face For the men we’ve lost within His grace Home of the brave, land of the free Where my body, my temple, long to be And I’ll fight to keep what’s sacred to me My promise to all whom live to be free I will always protect, our country for thee And when I return to this glorious land I’ll remember the soldiers who held my hand
