Stand Our Ground - Corey Smith

Will you take me up to rose hill

When you lay my body low

Wrap me in a flag throw some flowers on the ground

Say a few words then let me go

Theres no need to defend my honor

Or justify the life i gave

Theres no need for the pictures

Of my happy childhood there to please

Don’t pour salt upon my grave

I knew long ago that i would be the one

To brandish my sword should they beat those battle drums

I stood my ground

I stood for something worth falling for

Ask my father to forgive me

I know he didn’t understand

He works to hard for way to many years

To loose his boy in a foreign sand

And theres no doubt that hes angry

No doubt where he’ll place the blame

But don’t let him fall apart momma

Don’t let him go back to those pills

Only time will ease the pain

I died a patriot a soldier just like him

Fought like he taught me to until th every end

I stood my ground

I stood for something worth falling for

Yea worth falling for

I hope this wars worth dying for

I hope this wars worth dying for

I hope this wars worth dying for

Take my stripes take my medals

Take my cross and my dog tags too

Put them in a package

And stain it with your tears

And send it up to Pennsylvania avenue

My last regards to the man in charge

Let him know i served my country well

Yea he was right behind me all the way to kandihar

The night my broken body fell

Don’t let a day go by without a peaceful prayer

For my brothers and sisters still fighting over there

They stand there ground

They stand for something worth falling for

They stand there ground

They stand for something worth falling for

I hope this wars worth dying for

I hope this wars worth dying for

I hope this wars worth dying for

I hope this wars worth dying for

I hope this wars worth dying for
