Stand Our Ground

Will you take me up to Rose Hill

When you lay my body low

Wrap me in a flag, throw some flowers on the ground

Say a few words then let me go

There's no need to defend my honor

Or justify the life I gave

There's no need for the pictures of my happy childhood there

Please don't pour salt upon my grave

I knew long ago that I would be the one

To brandish my sword should they beat those battle drums

I stood my ground, I stood for something worth falling for

Ask my father to forgive me

I know he didn't understand

He worked too hard for way too many years

To lose his only boy in a foreign sand

Theres No doubt, he is angry

No doubt where he'll place the blame

But don't let him fall apart, Mama, don't let him go back to those pills

Only time will ease the pain

I died a patriot, a soldier just like him

Fought like he taught me to, until the very end

I stood my ground, I stood for something worth falling for

(I hope this war’s worth dyin for, I hope this war’s worth dyin’ for, I hope this war’s worth dyin’ for)

Take my stripes and take my medals

Take my cross and these dog tags, too

Put 'em in a package and stain it with your tears

Send it up to Pennsylvania Avenue

My last regards to the man in charge

Let him know I served my country well

Yeah, he was right behind me all the way to Kandahar

The night my broken body fell

Don't let a day go by without a peaceful prayer

For my brothers and my sisters still fighting over there

They stand their ground,

They stand for something worth falling for yeah

They stand their ground,

They stand for something worth falling for

worth dying for

I hope this war is dying for
