The Iron Patriot
The Iron Patriot
Your actions they speak out to us all
Even when backs are against the wall
I love how you always stand up tall
That is a strength for all and all
Even though we don't have your sight
There is something we can learn from you
It's something we should and must all do
Son I totally admire you
Although it may not always seem that way
I'll go ahead and say it anyway
You signed your name where most would never think
Washington would be proud if he's staring down from the clouds
Your a Patriot
to the core
a hero amongst us all
Your my son
like so many others now
A family of brothers standing strong against the demons that plague this land
Defending here and abroad
On a mountain in the freezing cold
Or a desert in the scorching heat
Through a jungle or into the night
Son your making things alright
Your mother and I were so proud
On the day you came into our lives
Now your an Iron Patriot hard as steel
to the core never wavering
always there
Defending freedom for all who care
We could never have asked for more
You set aside your well being for all and all
and
for the Corp
You'd lay down your life for lives you've never met
You'd run through the desert and sleep on the
ground
That's a worthy trait and deserves an ovation
We'll all thank you when your back home
Cherish all you are doing and remember the sacrifices those have made to get us here
When your done with the Corp and out in the world
Your still a Patriot to the core
We thank you for what you do for us all
You take down an enemy that keeps tyranny in hand
Thousands of people lost their lives
9/11 stands out in our minds
I held you in my arms so tight that day
On the front lines you take a stand
To remove terror from our minds
Instilling a sense of honor and pride
This ain't about eye for an eye
God don't approve of that
but they're gonna pay for the treacherous things they have brought to our door
So wherever you are and whenever you look to the sky whether it be the moon or the stars you see
Know that we are looking up there too!
So a few words to our lord' please bring them all home! To your brothers, sisters our sons and our daughters, please lord bring them all home safe and sound!
Amen
