1997 ... by Sandy Frazier Riggers
I must admit, the sight of it Almost always brings a tear to my eye When the flag is flown and honor is shown To the ones who were willing to die I know my every freedom Depends on those who serve To protect, defend and honor And I honor them with these words:
I see AMERICA in a young soldier's eyes I see AMERICA when a veteran softly cries I praise God for you, AMERICA Those scars of valor, they humble me I'm forever blessed, my freedoms rest On shoulders noble as these You are AMERICA to me.
What if none stood tall to answer that call In defense of liberty No passionate fight for those precious rights Why, I shudder to think where we'd be There are those who voice their protest They've got that right, but don't they see If it weren't for these brave in battle That freedom to speak would never be.
I see AMERICA in a young soldier's eyes I see AMERICA when a veteran softly cries I praise God for you, AMERICA Those scars of valor, they humble me I'm forever blessed, my freedoms rest On shoulders noble as these You are AMERICA to me.
May we never take for granted The sacrifices that were made I pray the honor and the memory of these Will never fade.
I see AMERICA in a young soldier's eyes I see AMERICA when a veteran softly cries I praise God for you, AMERICA Those scars of valor, they humble me I'm forever blessed, my freedoms rest On shoulders noble as these You are AMERICA to me.
