I Will Be The Exception
I Will Be The Exception
I will smile at every veteran I see
I will place my hand across my heart
and sing, "Oh say, can you see..."
I Will Be The Exception
I will laugh and talk and joke
and play, and smile. But not only on
Veterans Day. I will do it every day.
I Will Be The Exception
I will shake their hands, I will help in
anyway I can. Freedom can be celebrated
every day, not every now and then
From This Day...And This Day On
I Will Be The Exception
