Our Troops, who sacrificed it all.


They go off and fight,
Fight for our country,
For our freedom,
So we can live,
So we can still breathe air,

They lose their lives for our nation,
They pass so we can keep our freedom,
They die for us.

We stay safe at home,
While they train to be deadly weapons,
While they go though hell,
We just sit and watch the news,
The news of more of our brothers and sons,
Sisters and daughters dying.
They gave everything for us.

We lay soft asleep,
With the comfort that we are being protected,
We can close our eyes
And know that will wake up to breath once again.

They go and leave their families,
Leave everything that they ever knew,
Leave the people that they may never see again.

They gamble their lives for us,
They risk it all.

We need to look at what we have,
For we have our lives, and thank them for it.
For you yourself are not brave enough,
Brave enough to go off to war,
Brave enough to give yourself to the unknown,
Brave enough to shorten your life,
For our fallen country.

The least we could do is pray,
Pray for their safety,
Pray that they come home,
Pray for their lives…as they give us ours.

They are truly our heroes,
And may we never forget it.
