"Fight For Me"
Lyrics
Verse 1
You
stand to fight and we agree, until we see your brothers bleed
You
give your life to hold the line, then we change our minds
Pre Chorus
Afraid to say that you'd come home this way
Chorus
I
stand to give you my applause, how could you fight for a better cause
Opposed by those that you've set free still you fight for me.
Verse 2
We
hold our signs of war and peace, they seem to change so easily
While
passing judgment from our homes, in foreign lands you roam
Pre Chorus
Ashamed to say what you'd die to save
Chorus
I
stand to give you my applause, how could you fight for a better cause
Opposed by those that you've set free still you fight for me.
Chorus 2 I stand to give you my applause, how could you fight for a better cause
Opposed by those that you've set free still you fight for me.
To
all the soldiers don't you know, you'll always be the worlds heroes
As
long as we have enemies, still you fight for me.

Sam Hickey Explains...
How Citizen Reign Came To Be
"I joined the Marines in July of 1997. When I later switched to the Reserves, I started playing music again in one band after another, each project better than the last. Allen and I went to high school together. Ryan and Patrick were both found via internet classifieds. The band was not necessarily a military endeavor and we hadn't planned on having a military presence. After writing this song however, we couldn't ignore the response from so many touched individuals."
Why He Wrote "Fight for Me"
"I wanted to write about something other
than heartache or some girl. I have always been patriotic, and after
seeing a news report one evening, I decided to write about the troops.
Once I started, it just wrote itself in about 20 minutes. I really want
to explain that I don't prefer to state my opinions about this war
specifically, except to say that war in general is never ideal. However,
this song is simply a tribute to the troops who are willing to fight,
whether the government is making good decisions or not."
