So tell me as a hero what's worth saving
Rebuild our lives together and what's worth breaking
The green stripes on my arm that I present
But the violence I'm against that I resent

My head up high and my gun held close
The sorrow and sadness that I seem to overdose
No drugs can save me from this dream
A nightmare in time where I'm not free

Give me the life that I once had
Saving broken lives, the sickness now it makes me sad
Running in the sands that are colored red
My fallen brothers I remember in my head

Send them back home covered in our colors
The hardest thing to do, to tell their mothers
Fight for them our bravest sons
The greatest honor they have that's still to come

Do you understand?

Keep count of every bullet that you shoot
Every single hand grenade that I threw
Warriors of time yet so far from home
Packed as one no warrior that is left alone

Give them the right, you know they're just like us
As human beings all together in God we trust
Take away their pride, you are the enemy
All they have to say before they leave is, "Remember me."

Together as one, the right to fight with pride
The hopes and dreams to comeback to our wives
No time to give up, no time to pacify
We are the brothers with so much left to sacrifice

In God we trust

Just keep on running with me now
Our guns up high, no fear, just scream and shout
With our honor we know we can survive
Our colors waving when our hearts are burning bright

Redefine the warriors that fight for you
Take back the negativity and the things you do
We are the ones that wear the stripes
The things we do and say that change our lives

The battles we fight that show us who we are
When we come home all that's left are these painful scars
Keep us together now in our greatest liberty
Keep in mind of our brothers that keep us forever free
