A FEW POWERFUL WORDS ON A PIECE OF PARCHMENT
HAS EVOLVED FROM EXPERIMENT INTO A WAY OF LIFE
WE VOWED TO DEFEND AND PROTECT THAT CONSTITUTION
AND HELD OUR RESOLVE IN EVERY STRIFE

WE COME FROM EVERY WALK OF LIFE AND TRADE
YOUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS HEARING THE CALL
WE HAD THE CERTAINTY OF OUR CONVICTION
TO OUR NATION WE OFFERED OUR ALL

THROUGH THE YEARS WE HAVE STOOD FIRM
THROUGH ALL PERILS, PROTECTING THIS GREAT LAND
BY LAND, SEA, OR IN THE AIR
OUR TESTAMENT, "UNITED WE STAND"

WE WERE WILLING TO DEFEND OUR PRINCIPLES
AND PAY THE ULTIMATE WHEN REQUIRED
WE HAVE BEEN HERALDED AND REVILED
SHELL SHOCKED AND JUST PLAIN TIRED

THE TIME HAS COME TO PAY THE PRICE
FOR THAT SERVICE WE GAVE SO DEAR
WE ONLY ASK TO BE REMEMBERED
VETERAN'S DAY COMES BUT ONCE A YEAR
