Lyrics
WHAT THEY'RE FIGHTING FOR
A hundred degrees in the shade, they pick up their guns and gear,
Head out to do a job each day, choking on the heat and fear,
Lord knows they'd rather be back home, or any other place,
But the reasons they keep fighting, are not that hard to trace.
Their eyes have seen the beauty of, a country graced by God,
Their lips sing songs of freedom, about the land they've trod,
They're reminded what that flag means, they salute outside their door,
To bring the world a little of that, is what they're fighting for.
They understand the price that's paid, when they send one home for good,
Say prayers for those who wait at home, sacrifice is understood,
They make this country proud to say, they are our chosen few,
To offer hope around the world, secure freedom for me and you.
(Repeat Chorus)
