“For Love of Country”

He stands there strong

Dressed to fight

He’s honor bound

To do what’s right

For love of country

 

He’s proud to serve

When he is called

He’ll do his best

He’ll give his all

For love of country

 

He’ll go on point

To clear the way

He’ll risk his life

Both night and day

For love of country

 

He’ll sleep at night

Upon the ground

He’ll clean his gun

He’ll count his rounds

For love of country

 

He’ll freeze all night

He’ll sweat all day

He’ll do this all

For little pay and

Love of country

 

If he survives

And makes it home

He finds it hard

He feels alone

He needs his country
