Lyrics

American Soldier

Known the world over
The American soldier
They’d rather help out when they can
Then to put that gun in their hands.
They fought to give us our rights
Even for those who protest their fight.
That’s what sets them apart
Freedom written across their heart.

As the battle rages on
The bombs exploding all around.
But they refuse to give up any ground.
They only know one way
And that’s to destroy their enemy.
And they know that’s what it takes to be free.

When the battle slows down
They look around to see who’s fallen down
And how many won’t be fighting on.
They can hear their spirit say,
“Don’t let our dieing be in vain.
You got to take this fight all the way.”


Known the world over
The American soldier.
They’d rather help out when they can
Then to put that gun in their hands.
They fought to give us our rights
Even for those who protest their fight.
That’s what sets them apart
Freedom written across their heart.

They keep fighting on
The battle sounding like a thunder storm.
But they won’t quit until they right what’s wrong.
They’ll come from every side
From the sea and from the sky.
The enemy will surrender or they will die.

And when the war is won
They’ll put down their guns
And take a moment alone.
To remember those who died
And to wipe a tear from their eye
And get ready to go back home.




Known the world over
The American soldier.
They’d rather help out when they can
Then to put that gun in their hands.
They fought to give us our rights
Even to those who protest their fight.
That’s what sets them apart
Freedom written across their heart.
