Our Fathers fought for what was right,
They also fought for freedom.
Today we fight a faceless threat,
That maims and kills with no regrets.

They fight for lies, through hate filled eyes,
Then hide behind innocent children and wives.
They live to hate and hate to live,
We love to live, and live to give.

They envy goodness and our way of life,
We study to learn and live without strife.
They’re taught disgust by radical tongues,
Then falsely martyr their brainwashed young.

These cowards strike a bloody blow,
Existing only to destroy and depose.
Afraid of freedom, and free speech,
Peace and love withstands their reach.

They strike a blow, these terrorist foes,
Then run and hide their bitter woes.
Terror and fear, their weapons dear
Sneaking in our Nation, making their horror near

A nation free affects those foes
Who live to hurt and care oppose
Freedom withstands these bitter blows,
And our integrity deflects their death throes.

Around our flag, we build up more,
A symbol of our heartfelt pride.
It flutters true, through winds of war,
The banner high, with Military’s strong stride

Our country now must fight the fight
To protect us all, and our way of life.
We all stand with patriotic might,
Endure, and prevail against cowardly strife.

Around our flags our Countries grew,
America’s true red, white and blue.
A banner strong in winds of war,
A standard soaked in blood before.

Together, now, we must fight the fight,
Coming together with patriotic might
