Dedicated to All of those who ever put on a uniform,...especially those who died in one. 18 & Bulletproof, couldn't tell us what to do Crazy brave & scared out of our minds.... We traded in our faded jeans for high &tights & camo green Took that oath & signed on the dotted line We got on buses, got on planes...called each other by last names & Sometimes cried ourselves to sleep at night We carried rifles in our hands, loaded rucksacks on our backs With pictures of our loved ones in our hearts... We were Soldiers.....We were soldiers...We were soldiers It's something you can't explain, but honor bound we will remain A Brotherhood sealed in Blood & Sweat Cover down! Dress right dress! 40 inches...left right left Square yourself away ...front leanin' rest! We carried rucksacks on our backs...loaded rifles in our hands With pictures of our mama's in our hearts.... We were soldiers...We were soldiers...We were soldiers Hungry, Tired, Hard as nails...We kept our posts without fail.. Shined our boots and kept our powder dry Stripes & medals worn with pride, scars & wounds held deep inside We joined the fight with Angels Standing By... Valley Forge , Afghanistan...The Alamo to Vietnam Our cadence calls echo throughout time Freedom's got its enemies but tonight our children sleep in peace... 'Cause a soldier's standing on that Wall tonight We were soldiers...Were soldiers....US soldiers...freedoms soldiers.... We were soldiers!
