JESSICA LYNCH - EX POW

Open arms welcome you
It's good to be back home
Jessie what you lived through
We can only ready about.

Blood in the sand, you saw it all
A pretty girl so young and bold
Comrades hit, they took the fall
And you captured by the foe.

"I am an American"
these words you uttered remain
Bravery and courage began
On the road to Nasiriyah.

Special Forces rescued you
A night so long ago
An Iraqi lawyer offered the clues
and to him we owe our thanks.

Jessie your life has changed
We all want you to know
America loves you
You represent freedom for all.
