Now that the fighting has begun, we need to hope and pray to whatever God you believe in that it is over quickly and with as little loss of life as possible, and that the fighting men and women of our Armed Forces come home soon. I offer you this song By Cat Stevens in the name of Peace, and Lee Greenwood's in the name of our Soldiers.
Cause out on the edge of darkness,
Now I've been smiling lately,
Oh peace train sounding louder
Everyone jump upon the peace train
Get your bags together,
Now come and join the living,
Now I've been crying lately,
Cause out on the edge of darkness,
And I'm proud to be an American
That I'm proud to be an American
And I'm proud to be an American
"I'm proud to be an American, where at least I
Peace Train
And I've been smiling lately,
dreaming about
the world as one
And I believe it could be,
some day it's going
to come
there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country,
come take me home again
thinking about
the good things to come
And I believe it could be,
something good has begun
Glide on the peace train
Come on now peace train
Yes, peace train holy roller
Come on now peace train
go bring your good friends too
Cause it's getting nearer,
it soon will be with you
it's not so far from you
And it's getting nearer,
soon it will all be true
thinking about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating,
why can't we live in bliss
there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country,
come take me home again
God Bless the U.S.A.
If tomorrow all the things were gone
. . I'd worked for all my life,
And I had to start again
. . with just my children and my wife,
I'd thank my lucky stars
. . to be livin' here today.
Cause the flag still stands for freedom
. . And they can't take that away.
Where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me
And I gladly stand up
. . next to you and defend her still today
Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God bless the USA
From the lakes of Minnesota
... To the hills of Tennessee
... Across the plains of Texas
... From sea to shining sea
... From Detroit down to Houston
... And New York to LA
Well there's pride in every American heart
And its time we stand and say..
Where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me
And I gladly stand up . . next to you and
defend her still today
Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God bless the USA
Where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me
And I gladly stand up . . next to you and
defend her still today
Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God bless the USA!
know I'm free, And I won't forget the men
who died, who gave that right to me,
And I gladly stand up next to you and
defend her still today, 'Cause there ain't no
doubt I love this land, God Bless the U.S.A."
