Student Patriots at USA Patriotism!

Carry On

To those on the front lines, we salute you,
As you march onward to war, onward to unknown territory.
Marching to battle where you may not return.
So carry on, weary soldier, carry on.

As you fight to protect our American homestead,
Fighting to protect our freedom, our families,
Fighting to protect our way of life, our country that we call home.
So carry on, weary soldier, carry on.

While you are away don't forget.
Don't forget your family, your friends.
Don't forget the symbol of freedom that is the U.S.A.
Don't forget why you march to war or why you fight.
Don't forget where your heart lies
And don't forget to carry on, weary soldier, carry on.

Because we will not forget you.
We will not forget your work or dedication.
We will not forget that you march for us, that you fight for us.
We will not forget that you defend our home so we may be free.
Most of all we will not forget that you carry on for us.
So carry on, weary soldier, carry on.
