…they put their life on hold
…they put their life on hold …on remembering how y’all got so upset learning we were ‘water-boarding’ Enemy Combatants to gain valuable intelligence, thus saving thousands of innocent lives – how quickly some complain, while forgetting the blood sweat & tears, nay, the very lives dedicated to the protection of freedom.
The morning news left me appalled
enhanced interrogation program
was to be stalled
and the very thought left me galled
Thinking of all those safe at home
living far away from the danger zone
on how we wage war they complain and groan
There hands are clean
they’ll sleep sound tonight
knowing others will boldly go
and take-up the fight
assuring they’ll never live in fright
I need to ask
they must know it’s true
the lives of thousands
in the hands of a few
you know they will
and follow through
We should sing loud in appreciation
thousands of hours spent in frustration
assuring the Free World’s continued salvation
Un-named souls for you put their life on hold
the enemy’s aggression is uncontrolled
sing “Hoo..Ah” for their service
please don’t scold
I believe our Honor was stolen by a thief
we are now seeing the mountain of grief
from America’s Apologizer
our Commander-’n-Chief
