He sees
their faces and remembers the places
He feels
the pain and the sorrow and knows there is more to come tomorrow
At night he
lays and hears their screams wishing it was only a dream
When you see a vet on the street give him a smile and a friendly great,
let him know if he hadn’t went to settle that revolution
you
wouldn’t be living by this great Constitution.
He left
here young at heart and came back with a broken heart
He thought the photo would leave his mind and be left far behind
but in his
dreams he sees their faces and remembers all the places
He feels
the pain and the sorrow for the families today and tomorrow
When you see a vet on the street give him a smile and a friendly great,
let him know if he hadn’t went to settle that revolution
you
wouldn’t be living by this great Constitution.
I’m a Vet
you see, my brothers and me, served in a conflict we couldn’t win
You see
they built that Wall in Washington D.C. for everyone to see
We lost
58,479 brothers and sisters that’s why we cry
We look at
the names and see the faces and try to remember the places
We carry
the pain and the guilt because we can’t help but carry that photo in our mind
and not on our hip
When you see a vet on the street give him a smile and a friendly great,
let him know if he hadn’t went to settle that revolution
you
wouldn’t be living by this great Constitution.
We as vets
walk tall and proud and we are not hard to tell from the rest
We all have
taken that terrible test we carry a burden on our shoulders and on our chest for
the brothers & sisters who didn’t pass the test
We carry
their photo in our mind and not on our hip and God knows they did their best and
we as soldiers know the rest so when we come home this time do your best to give
us a smile and a friendly greet
We are the
tired soldier still on his feet
If you see
tears in our eyes when we see Old Glory fly we know the price we had to pay to
be free another day
When you see a vet on the street give him a smile and a friendly great,
let him know if he hadn’t went to settle that revolution
you
wouldn’t be living by this great Constitution.
