Give Thanks To A Soldier
© 2008 Jim Gardiner and Leonard Lawson

CHORUS (1):
You know this Soldier fights for you,
He'll give his life for you,
He'll die for you its true,
This is what a Soldier do,

You know this Soldier fights for you,
He'll give his life for you,
He'll die for you its true,
This is what a Soldier do,

VERSE (1):
Now whether Air Force, Army or US Marine,
Or US Navy they on the same team,
They take it to the water; take it to the skies,
Deploy on land, fight to save lives,
Men and Women side by side,
As we say rest in peace, to all that died,
On the battle field, in the line of duty,
New and old recruits, its you we solute,
You put it on the line, in the heat of the moment,
Saving US soil from a foreign opponent,
And you put it on the line each and everyday,
Fighting for the right of freedom the American way,
Fighting for the right for freedom we thank you for that,
We love you and miss you and pray you make it back,
May the Lord be with you until the war be over,
The least we can do is GIVE THANKS TO A SOLDIER!

CHORUS (2):
You know this Soldier fights for you,
He'll give his life for you,
He'll die for you its true,
This is what a Soldier do,

VERSE (2):
Now, this here's a Soldier's story, down in the trenches,
Bombs go off, missing him by inches,
Bombs go off, bursting with glare,
But he can still see, that the flag it was there,
His vision was blurry, his hope it was fading,
But he kept it moving, he kept evading,
Behind enemy lines destroying evil,
Protecting America and America's People,
Fighting for our rights, it's him that we need,
He fights for every race, every color, every creed,
He fights for Democracy, for the right to choose,
He fights for what's right, so we could never lose,
He fights for love; he's fights for freedom,
He's fighting for our freedom, that's why we need him,
And if he has to go to war, he'll fight till its over,
The least we can do is GIVE THANKS TO A SOLDIER!

CHORUS (3):
You know this Soldier fights for you,
He'll give his life for you,
He'll die for you its true,
This is what a Soldier do,

VERSE (3):
This is the home of the brave, land of the free,
I give thanks to a Soldier for protecting me,
I give thanks to a Solider, putting his life on the line,
For protecting your's and protecting mines,
Engaged in a battle, fighting off the enemy,
Dieing for your country with honor and dignity,
Dieing for your country fighting in a war,
We done lost so many, don't want to lose no more,
I pray to the Lord, that you make it back,
Restore Democracy fight off the attacks,
Yes, I pray to the Lord, and hope to keep you safe,
For your safe return to the USA,
I know I'll see you soon, and I look for the day,
When the war be over and you all walk away,
But until that day, that war be over,
The least we can do is GIVE THANKS TO A SOLDIER!

CHORUS (4):
You know this Soldier fights for you,
GIVE THANKS TO A SOLDIER!
He'll give his life for you,

He'll die for you its true,
GIVE THANKS TO A SOLDIER!
This is what a Soldier do,

You know this Soldier fights for you,
GIVE THANKS TO A SOLDIER!
He'll give his life for you,

He'll die for you its true,
GIVE THANKS TO A SOLDIER!
This is what a Soldier do.
