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
