JUST ‘CAUSE THE CAUSE IS JUST
© Copyright 2013 Richard Lee King
We need to support our troops, that really seems to be a must.
The only reason they are there, is just ‘cause the cause is just.
We need to be more vocal, in defending what is right.
Squeaky wheels get noticed, we should squeak, with all our might.
We have lots of vocal fanatics, spouting all sorts of crap,
but last time I checked; USA was still atop my country’s map.
We need more people standing up for what they know is right.
We need to show the enemy, they just can’t win this fight.
We need to show more resolve, stop talking about pulling out.
Remember 9-11? That’s what it’s really all about!
I’m not political, but I know that right is right
and knowing that the troops are there, helps me sleep at night.
For over two hundred years, we kept foreign battles from our shores,
but ever since 9-11, we can’t say that anymore.
Yes, we fought amongst ourselves, when we fought that civil war,
but that was a 150 years ago, we shouldn’t fight ourselves anymore.
Our soldiers all salute our flag, they’ve all shared the costs.
Once they’ve worn the uniform, seems, that respect is never lost.
We can’t right all the wrongs, but we need to do the proper thing,
when they play our National Anthem, we all need to stand and sing.
To those who are too embarrassed, or who just don’t feel the pride,
there are borders north and south, we should offer them a free ride.
It’s not about religion, but if it is, that religion just can’t be right.
The flag’s been there since 1776, we already fought & won that fight.
I don’t have the answers, but I know we all need to unite,
and I know this talk of pulling out, doesn’t increase our soldiers might.
