Yah Yah I don't know you but you'd probably take a bullet for me Halfway around the world and never get to tell your story Might get a badge or two but after you come back And face the facts that half are mad and saying How can you look down on you They're taking stabs at you It's sad to see this afternoon these politicians after you When you did what you had to do I hear their words on the news they come unglued They've forgotten already overcome by their views But whether they believe That it's wrong or it's right I hope we never ever forget the reason you fight The hero in the dark with the evil in sight Deep in a battlefield having trouble sleeping at night We forget that he's a man with a daughter and wife We forget that evil people never call it a night Tell his brothers and sisters he'll be right back and he'll miss 'em I wave this flag as a reminder I'm still backing this system Because I'll never forget Never forget Ever Never forget Never forget Ever Every single time that I raise this up They're not fighting for themselves They're fighting for us Man I'll never forget Never forget Ever Never forget Never forget Ever The people here before that shed blood for me To show the world that freedom isn't always free They shed a tear but can't let it go though it's been years Since they've seen their peers facing their deepest and darkest fears Staring death right in the face Would you ever take their place Would you ever stand beside them Or do you hide behind them Writing to remind them Some out here still find them Guns up in the air We salute in a time When we've forgotten what it means to have to fight for our means We've forgotten what the powers at be can conceive We've forgotten what it is we're not living in a dream When the truth and reality isn't what it seems So we make our own views based on things we've never seen Since we've never been to battle and we've never joined the team They sit the sidelines point their fingers and scream Since they've never had to get dirty their hands are still clean I believe in peace plus the freedom the bring I hope we can wake up stop living in a dream Because I'll never forget Never forget Ever Never forget Never forget Ever Every single time that I raise this up They're not fighting for themselves They're fighting for us Man I'll never forget Never forget Ever Never forget Never forget Ever The people here before that shed blood for me To show the world that freedom isn't always free Because I'll never forget Never forget Ever Never forget Never forget Ever Every single time that I raise this up They're not fighting for themselves They're fighting for us Man I'll never forget Never forget Ever Never forget Never forget Ever The people here before that shed blood for me To show the world that freedom isn't always free
