War On Terror

Navy Seals, they are the boys
no mistakes or error.
They have gone and rid this world
of one man and his terror.

Holed up in a Pakistani house
hidden behind a twelve foot wall,
there became no hiding place,
oh how the "mighty one"can fall!

His body washed and put to sea,
oh let us take a breath,
is this demon really done
is he put to death?

No matter what your faith
or what your point of view,
there is one thing oh so clear
we have to see this through.

Let us take a moment,
although we"ve lots to fear,
and appreciate a victory
mark this day and year.

Say a prayer for all who mourn
at the setting of each sun,
and join their mighty cry..
"Let justice please be done".
