(Verse 1)
He was just a young boy, dreamin’ of the stars and stripes
With a heart full of honor, ready to stand and fight
He signed up for duty, to defend the land of the free
But little did he know, what his eyes would soon see
(Chorus)
He grew up fighting for his country, with pride in his heart
But now he sees America torn apart
The very things he fought against, are creeping in so near
He wonders if his sacrifice was in vain, with a tear
(Verse 2)
He saw the flag wave high, as he marched into the fray
Through battles and struggles, he never lost his way
But now the streets are filled with anger and with hate
And he wonders if it’s too late to change this fate
(Chorus)
He grew up fighting for his country, with pride in his heart
But now he sees America torn apart
The very things he fought against, are creeping in so near
He wonders if his sacrifice was in vain, with a tear
(Bridge)
He remembers the camaraderie, the brotherhood so strong
But now it seems like unity is gone
He longs for the days when the nation stood as one
And prays for a new dawn, when the fighting is done
(Chorus)
He grew up fighting for his country, with pride in his heart
But now he sees America torn apart
The very things he fought against, are creeping in so near
He wonders if his sacrifice was in vain, with a tear
(Outro)
As he looks out at the land he loves, with a heavy heart
He holds onto hope, that a new chapter will start
For a man who grew up fighting for his country so dear
Praying for peace and unity, to make things clear.
