| | | The Fighting Man |  |
| God bless the fighting man
He does for his country what he can
American intentions are just and true
He protects freedom for me and you
This is something that changes lives
They join other men and leave their wives
They must be off to a foreign land
Such is the life of the fighting man
He is undeterred by heat or pain
Strong, unflinching muscles bear the strain
Standing tall with his rifle erect
For the USA he has sworn to protect
Square-jawed men who join the fight
They must do what is right
They are keeping democracy free
And putting an end to tyranny
Men who fight in mud and sand
Men who fight to take a stand
Handle their duty with skill and grace
Giving emancipation to this place
Fighting for liberty in Iraq
Soldiers watching each others back
Sweat runs down his proud chest
The fighting man, America's best
Lonely soldier comforted by his brother's embrace
Their's is a bond that spans both time and place
Love for each other unites the fighting man
A love no woman can understand | By Harley Waddell
