"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
