(Verse 1)
He was just a young boy, with stars and stripes in his eyes
Dreaming of serving his country, reaching for the skies
Proudly he enlisted, eager to defend with might
Little did he know, of the darkness he’d soon fight
(Verse 2)
Through trials and tribulations, he stood tall and brave
On foreign lands he fought, his country to save
But as the years went by, a change began to show
The ideals he held dear, were starting to lose their glow
(Chorus)
He grew up fighting for his country, with pride in his heart
But now he sees America torn apart
The values he defended, now seem to disappear
He wonders if his sacrifices were made in vain, with a tear
(Verse 3)
He witnessed the unity, the strength of a nation
But now division and discord cloud his observation
The echoes of battles fought still ring in his ears
Yet the battles within seem to stoke his fears
(Bridge)
Memories of comrades lost and victories won
Now mingle with doubts of what can be done
He longs for a return to the land he once knew
Where freedom and justice rang ever true
(Chorus)
He grew up fighting for his country, with pride in his heart
But now he sees America torn apart
The values he defended, now seem to disappear
He wonders if his sacrifices were made in vain, with a tear
(Verse 4)
As he gazes at the flag, a symbol of his past
He wonders if the ideals will forever last
A man who fought for freedom, now fights a different fight
Hoping for a brighter future, in the darkness of the night
(Outro)
For the man who grew up fighting, for the country he holds dear
May hope and unity prevail, erasing all fear
In the face of adversity, may his spirit soar
For America, the land he loves, forevermore.
