Oath for Life

I swore my name on the line, bold and clear,

Through the dust, through the years, I’ve held it near.

My boots on the ground, my hands in the fight,

An oath doesn’t end when you leave the light.

My oath is for life, my word is my shield,

Strong and mighty, I won't ever yield.

Come for me, I’ll take you down,

This is my flag, my country, my ground.

The stars and the stripes, they run through my veins,

Each fold of the flag, it whispers my name.

I’ve seen the fire, I’ve walked through the rain,

But the weight of my promise, it keeps me sane.

They ask me why I stand so tall,

Because some things ain’t for sale at all.

My oath is for life, my word is my shield,

Strong and mighty, I won't ever yield.

Come for me, I’ll take you down,

This is my flag, my country, my ground.

I’ve fought for the quiet, I’ve fought for the free,

For the small-town streets and the towering trees.

This land is my home, it’s blood and bone,

You’ll find no fear in this heart of stone.
