Stand Our Ground 歌词

Stand Our Ground 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 There's no need to defend my honor Or justify the life I gave There's no need for the pictures of my happy childhood there, 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 worked too hard for way too many years To lose his only boy in a foreign sand No doubt, he is angry No doubt where he'll put the blame But don't let him fall apart, Mama, Don't let him go back to the pills Only pride will ease his pain I died a patriot, a soldier just like him Fought like he taught me to, until the very end I stood my ground, I stood for something Worth falling for Take my stripes and take my medals Take my flag and dog tags too Put 'em in a package, stain it with your tears, Send it up to Pennsylvania Avenue My last regards to the man in charge Let him know I served my country well He was right behind me all the way to Kandahar The night my broken body fell Don't let a day go by without a peaceful prayer For my brothers and my sisters still fighting over there They stand their ground, they stand for something Worth falling for
