WE KNOW WAR IS HELL
I have a hero far away,
Who, from what I hear, is running astray.
Marine, now you hear me, and you listen good,
This is NOT the time to be thinking what could!
Your mind MUST stay focused on the job ahead
If not too many lives could be lost; stone cold dead.
Fear and regret may rule your heart
But spring into action is what you must start!
There are millions who depend on you, there and now.
You must muddle through this somehow!
Pull up those boot straps, don that gun,
Out in the desert there's no place to run.
You're an American fighting machine, U.S. Marine
You and your brothers all have blood of green!
You endured boot camp and the crucible,
This is only another kind of that same Hell.
We rely and depend upon Marines as true brothers,
You're a part of a TEAM, now go join the others.
You can not quit now, you must carry on
You all have your parts to do dependant on
The brother beside you on that desert mound
Or trekking your way through all dangerous ground.
Marines do NOT QUIT, they're the Few and the Brave
The Best of the Best, so you just BEHAVE!!
I'm a military mom; my life sentence it seems
I didn't have a choice so yes, I can be mean.
I outrank them all except God in Heaven
We work together to keep young men strengthened.
You turn around your heart; get mean and get tough
The going ahead we know will be rough.
You conquered boot camp earned the Marine E.G.A.
Marines are FOREVER and they don't come to play.
You are mighty and mean, well trained and strong,
You've had your moment, now undo this wrong.
Straighten your back; hold up that chin;
Now back in the game Marine;
WE MUST NOT LET THEM WIN!
