They endured hell
So we could have our rights
They fought the wars
They won the fights.
They watched their friends perish
In horrible ways
Killed in their sleep
Killed while they prayed.
They marched through the jungle
Rivers they crossed
Never knowing when
Lives might be lost
Yet we don't have the pride
To thank them for what they've done
We turn our backs on them
Intent on having our fun.
We say it's our right
We say that we're free
I have only one question
Without their sacrifice, would we be?
