Raise your hand and repeat after me The commercial said you would be all you could be You will travel and definitely see the world In your fatigues and standing tall In a firefight with your back against the wall Your buddies scream as bullets fly Black hawks firing rockets from the sky Hit the dirt as the explosions began Dug in deep upon the sand When the smoke clears you look around Slowly your buddies get off the ground All accept one who does move He was so young and felt like he had something to prove He sacrificed himself to protect someone Hid the young from a machine gun Soldiers cross for his sacrifice We will never forget, he gave his life Soldiers sacrifice each and everyday We should thank them each and every day
