NeverForget

Never Forget - Steven Cooper

Written by：Steven D Cooper

Yah

Yah

I don't know you but you'd probably take a bullet for me

Halfway around the world and never get to tell your story

Might get a badge or two but after you come back

And face the facts that half are mad and saying

How can you look down on you

They're taking stabs at you

It's sad to see this afternoon these politicians after you

When you did what you had to do

I hear their words on the news they come unglued

They've forgotten already overcome by their views

But whether they believe

That it's wrong or it's right

I hope we never ever forget the reason you fight

The hero in the dark with the evil in sight

Deep in a battlefield having trouble sleeping at night

We forget that he's a man with a daughter and wife

We forget that evil people never call it a night

Tell his brothers and sisters he'll be right back and he'll miss 'em

I wave this flag as a reminder I'm still backing this system

Because I'll never forget

Never forget

Ever

Never forget

Never forget

Ever

Every single time that I raise this up

They're not fighting for themselves

They're fighting for us

Man I'll never forget

Never forget

Ever

Never forget

Never forget

Ever

The people here before that shed blood for me

To show the world that freedom isn't always free

They shed a tear but can't let it go though it's been years

Since they've seen their peers facing their deepest and darkest fears

Staring death right in the face

Would you ever take their place

Would you ever stand beside them

Or do you hide behind them

Writing to remind them

Some out here still find them

Guns up in the air

We salute in a time

When we've forgotten what it means to have to fight for our means

We've forgotten what the powers at be can conceive

We've forgotten what it is we're not living in a dream

When the truth and reality isn't what it seems

So we make our own views based on things we've never seen

Since we've never been to battle and we've never joined the team

They sit the sidelines point their fingers and scream

Since they've never had to get dirty their hands are still clean

I believe in peace plus the freedom the bring

I hope we can wake up stop living in a dream
