Lyrics

Verse I:
The preacher stepped onto the stage
In a God filled church that bright spring day.
As a proud and patriotic man
He asked the war vets to rise and stand.

Chorus:
As this occurred I almost cried
And thought of those who fought and died
They did what we asked, to protect this land
But never got their chance to stand.

Verse II:
A loud ovation filled the place
As tears ran down a man's grim face.
From a back row seat he raised his hand
In a wheel chair now he could not stand.

Chorus:
Bearing scars of war he often cried
And thought of those who fought and died
They did what we asked, to protect this land
But never got their chance to stand.

Verse III:
My father served in World War II,
A Navy man dressed smart in blue.
For him there's no clap of hands
He died before his chance to stand.

Chorus:
The day he passed his family cried
And thought of those who fought and died
They did what we asked, to protect this land
But never got their chance to stand.

Chorus:
Democracy comes with a price,
It isn't free; it takes the lives
Of people who protect this land
But never got their chance to stand.
