I Fight

I fight to keep my country thriving
To keep her standing tall
I fight to let the people know
That they are safe from harm

I fight to uphold the honor and memories
Of  those who fought and died before me
I fight to give the families peace
As they lay in bed at night

I fight so the children know freedom
And never bow down from fear
I fight to let my family know
Their lives are more important than my own

I fight to defend the country I love
To keep her from being torn down
I fight for all the men, women and children
Who will never know my name
