A Tribute to Veterans
They fight every morning, they fight every night
Just so we can look out the window and have a beautiful sight
They know how to represent their red, white, and blue very well
They work every day for more than twelve
They inspire a lot
They protect us all over the world from California to Denmark
They know what they're doing, a job well done
And they do it so classified, picking every crumb
Every morning I wake up and thank God for you
Because if it wasn't for you
The sky wouldn't seem blue
On my feet might not be a shoe
And these people could not view
I respect and admire your anticipation
For keeping his country together as a fair nation
But it brought us closer as a nation, that's a fact
You risk yourself, just to protect
And just for that you have my respect
Thank you, thank you is all I can say
And God bless you all on this Veteran's Day!
9/11, we all remember that
