Sacrifice
Soldiers go off to fight For what our country believes is right They fight and die And everyone will mourn and ask, Why? But if they were still here They would say do not fear Because I fought for your freedom and rights And died so you can have a house with lights. Soldiers sacrifice everything they own To go protect and live their life alone They lay down everything, even their lives To protect their sons and daughters and wives. Be grateful for the country you live in Because it would not be possible without these brave men Soldiers don't want anything for what they do They just say that they do it for me and you. |
Inspiration
Inspiration sparks a flame A flame that lights and can never be contained It lights our way through darkest days It helps us grow and learn to never say no Inspiration isn't always easy to come across Even if it's small, it's never a loss It makes stupendous paintings and musical masterpieces It sends us to our happiest “beaches" It helps us to accomplish our goals It lightens and cleanses our souls Inspiration is all you need If you believe, you will be freed |
