I'll Will Always Be with You : Celebrating the 4th of July

Candice

"These stripes may be filled with the blood of our freedom fighters

But our stars will shine brightly for all the world to see."

A thanks to all those who have won hard earned freedom

And a special thanks to our forefathers of longs days past.

You are not forgotten...

This song/lyrical poem is about how God is always with us wherever we are...



It takes a lot of courage to jump out on a limb,

Yeah, it takes a lot of heart.

And if you're feeling weak or alone,

Just know that we'll never be apart



(Ch) I will always be with you

At your side, until and through the end

I'll wipe the tears of painful memories

And quicken your pace home to loved ones and friends



I'll be walking right beside you

Every step of the way

We'll celebrate the victories won

And homecomings when its done



(Ch) I will always be with you

At your side, until and through the end

I'll wipe the tears of painful memories

And quicken your pace home to loved ones and friends



I'll never be apart from you

Even if you don't see me

I've always got your back

And let you know when enemies near so they can't sneak attack



(Ch) I will always be with you

At your side, until and through the end

I'll wipe the tears of painful memories

And quicken your pace home to loved ones and friends



Courage and honor

Are part of your makeup

But don't forget that responsibility is yours too

beware of false hopes and stick to what you know is true



(Ch) I will always be with you

At your side, until and through the end

I'll wipe the tears of painful memories

And quicken your pace home to loved ones and friends



All your actions have equal reactions

So go in with a pure heart

I'll be with you every step of the way

And danger I will help keep at bay



(Ch) I will always be with you

At your side, until and through the end

I'll wipe the tears of painful memories

And quicken your pace home to loved ones and friends



Loving your country is a part of who you are

Your roots, your base, your heart

So reaching and fighting for your destiny

Freedom won't be far....



(Ch) I will always be with you

At your side, until and through the end

I'll wipe the tears of painful memories

And quicken your pace home to loved ones and friends



We've all prayed for peace

Throughout the world the song rings

But even the hard won blood of those stripes

Nor the stars' shining light can prevent the hate in some hearts



(Ch) I will always be with you

At your side, until and through the end

I'll wipe the tears of painful memories

And quicken your pace home to loved ones and friends
