The Heros of Our Country
THE HEROS OF OUR COUNTRY
The night seems extremely long
As I stand guard against the enemy,
I know not how long I can hold on
For my body grows tired and weary.
There is no peace and no time to rest
We must not let our defenses down,
For the war rages on night and day
With the stench of death all around.
Why do we fight a war we can not win
Arabs have fought each other for many a year,
They will never be the one to stop this endless war
They kill each other for therefore death they do not fear.
I know our troops all around the world
Fight for all our countries to be free,
They fight with all their courage and stamina
It seems it is just not meant to be.
We shall pray for our troops where ever they are
Pray they will soon be on their home ground,
Pray openly that God might see you are sincere
That under God worldly peace may be found.
