The American Soldier

Like a skyscraper In New York City Like an oak tree In the neighborhood park The American soldier Stands tall Like a graduate With a college diploma Like a battle-scarred Marine At the Veteran's Day ceremonies The American soldier Stands proud Like the lone wolf On a moon lit summer night Like the Star Spangled banner Over the U.S. of A. The American soldier Stands alone Standing tall, proud, alone The American soldier will always be there Defending our freedom and our rights Without thinking twice The American soldier lives for you And dies for you
