~~ AMERICAN SOIL ~~
As I stand upon our American soil,
the land of freedom beneath my feet.
Watching our brothers and sisters unite,
in the name of honor we all seek.
~~
Taking our dreams one step beyond,
to the corners of such deepest fears.
As we find ourselves draped in black,
saluting our country with mournful tears.
~~
Still reaching for that brilliant light,
amazing victory we will place in His hand.
flickering of a candle in the darkest hour.
against unforeseen things we never planned.
~~
God bless you and hold on,
should you be wondering about tomorrow.
For there is a hero in everyone's heart,
even in our nation's time of sorrow.
~~
Carrying our flag where it has never been,
a memory etched in twisted debris and stone.
Knowing we will always persevere with pride,
those that gave their life, never walked alone.
