To all our falling soldiers we salute to this day
the hell of seeing your friends get blown away
come back to the world get treated like refuse
please understand our support never left you
while hippies were feeling groovy and taking drugs
you were up to your boots in the blood and the mud
I salute the brave troops letting the stars and strips fly
although many soldiers had to die/I hold nothing but admiration inside
while us civilians took freedom in stride
when you came back from war
I prayed to god there would be no more
