A Call To Arms

We heard the mighty roar
Of jets up in the sky
Our military called to arms
Into battle now they fly.



Our ships upon the sea
Sail off into the night
Our colors waving proudly
Our boys, are off to fight.



Marching now they go
So proud and tall they stand
Stepping now each as one
To protect our mighty land.

Men and women side by side
By air or land or sea
Go to fight for each of us
To keep our country free.

God be with you all
We'll pray for you each day
Until the battle's over
And you're home at last to stay.

There's a Star Spangled Banner Waving Somewhere

There's a Star-Spangled Banner waving somewhere
In a distant land so many miles away.
Only Uncle Sam's great heroes get to go there
Where I wish that I could also live some day.
I'd see Lincoln, Custer, Washington and Perry,
And Nathan Hale and Colin Kelly, too.
There's a Star-Spangled Banner waving somewhere,
Waving o'er the land of heroes brave and true.

In this war with its mad schemes of destruction
Of our country fair and our sweet liberty,
By the mad dictators, leaders of corruption,
Can't the U. S. use a mountain boy like me?
God gave me the right to be a free American,
And for that precious right I'd gladly die.
There's a Star-Spangled Banner waving somewhere,
That is where I want to live when I die.

Though I realize I'm crippled, that is true, sir,
Please don't judge my courage by my twisted leg.
Let me show my Uncle Sam what I can do, sir,
Let me help to bring the Axis down a peg.
If I do some great deed I will be a hero,
And a hero brave is what I want to be.
There's a Star-Spangled Banner waving somewhere,
In that heaven there should be a place for me.
