They Won't Be Home For Christmas

Another year, American Heroes
Are fighting in a foreign land
And there is still, no end in sight
A part of life they hadn't planned.

They do their duty without question
And they all stand proud and tall
They are placed there in harm's way

And improvise ingenious ways read more »

Just doesn't ring true, anymore
To, "Take the fight to the terrorists!"
Is not really why, we went to War.

In fact, we've made more enemies
They just don't want us on their soil read more »
