1st Verse:
They put their lives on the line for us each and every day,
They sadly leave their families, and are forced to walk away.
He may never see his little girl or even her little boy,
But they’re fighting for our country, bringing freedom and joy.
CHORUS:
They’re American Soldiers fighting for the land they love,
They’re our heroes and our family sent from the man above.
Doing their duties we send them on with love and prayer.
And someday if they don’t make it back, we hope they know we cared.
2nd Verse:
They never know what will happen, they’re taking such a chance,
And day to day we wonder how we will ever pay them back.
They’re so courageous and proud, they are so brave and strong,
All we wish for now is that they won’t be there very long.
CHORUS:
They’re American Soldiers fighting for the land they love,
They’re our heroes and our family sent from the man above.
Doing their duties we send them on with love and prayer.
And someday if they don’t make it back, we hope they know we cared.
