Lyrics
Liberty has called me,
To help those in despair.
IÂ?ve shouldered arms, IÂ?ll carry on,
Please keep me in your prayers
With bombs and bullets flying round,
My buddies by my side.
We do our best, to win this war
With dignity and pride
(Chorus)
I know I wonÂ?t be here too long,
Within this battle zone.
IÂ?ll get back to the life I had,
Someday IÂ?ll get back home.
But while IÂ?m here, when dutyÂ?s done,
Before I hit the sack.
I pray to God, their souls to keep,
The ones that wonÂ?t come back.
Helping those in dire need
Of Liberty and Peace.
Bringing Truth and Freedom,
One day our rôle will cease.
But Â?til it does weÂ?ll soldier on,
WeÂ?ll see our duty thru,
Helping those who canÂ?t defend themselves
Behind Red White and Blue
Freedom has a price to pay,
You can not get it free.
You just canÂ?t take for granted,
The cost of Liberty.
ThereÂ?s many went before us,
To fight in foreign lands.
They instilled in us, our Dignity
And beliefs for which we stand.
So Lord please hear my message,
Cos my life is in your hands.
(Chorus)
I know I wonÂ?t be here too long,
Within this battle zone.
IÂ?ll get back to the life I had,
Someday IÂ?ll get back home.
But while IÂ?m here, when dutyÂ?s done,
Before I hit the sack.
I pray to God, their souls to keep,
The ones that wonÂ?t come back.
Oh Lord please keep an eye out
For the ones that wonÂ?t come back.
