Lyrics
James Sinor Jr Music BMI 2005
She said "I'm proud of my son on this night"
He said "I'm proud of my daughter"
Many went,many gave up their life
Like laying lambs at the alter
All the children that fight for freedom
We just want you to return
(Chorus)
We just want to hold you near us
And thank you for what you have done
So stand up striaght, your red, white, and blue
Please don't build any walls around you
They put the chair on the plane with the girl
Many saw,many whispered
A little boy at the end of the row
Said"mom what happened to that soldier"
Some of the children that fight for freedom
Give everything that they got son
(chorus)
We just want to hold them near us
And thank them for what they have done
The free,the brave,Their red,white,and blue
Please don't build any walls around them
Got a call,gotta put down the food
Someone's held up with a pistol
He's yelling out "I did what I had to do,
but I can't live here anymore"
All of the children that fight for freedom
Need everything we can give them
(chorus)
We just want to hold you near us
And thank you for what you have done
so stand up straight, your red, white, and blue
Please don't build any walls around you
Please don't build any walls around Them
She said "I'm proud of my son on this night"
He sad "I'm proud of my daughter
