Close your eyes and imagine, the soldier at valley forge |
|
The suffering that he endured was real |
|
Starvation, total war, yet in has eyes the iron will to win |
|
And for the cause, he won't relent |
|
Would he look upon us now in anger and disgust |
|
His politics a birthright and our creed |
|
Will we let ignorance and laziness bring our demise |
|
Complacency, we're blinded by our greed |
|
Standing barefoot, frozen bloody hands |
|
His musket clutched, an iron grip |
|
And for the cause, he has but one regret |
|
He's only got one life to give |
|
Would he look upon us now in anger and disgust |
|
His politics a birthright and our creed |
|
Will we let ignorance and laziness bring our demise |
|
Complacency, we're blinded by our greed |
|
It's time for us, to open up our eyes |
|
And cherish the lives we all can have |
|
And to the ones who kept our freedom free |
|
Words can't express all that you've done |
|
Would he look upon us now in anger and disgust |
|
His politics a birthright and our creed |
|
Will we let ignorance and laziness bring our demise |
|
Complacency, we're blinded by our greed |
