I Am An American Soldier

I am an American soldier who is called to war

I am an American soldier who wont take terrorism no more

I've done this before

but this time is different

last time was Kuwait

this one happened on my shore

for the blood of my sisters and brothers

for their dads and their mothers

for the husbands and wives left here

for the children we love so dear

I now make this promise to you

I will fight til I die or til the terrorism is through

I am but one man amidst many others

we will fight as one my band of brothers

If before I return I should happen to die

don't ask yourself oh why oh why

Just think of all the others and me

who have now died so you may be FREE.
