THANKS TO THE BRAVE

THANKS TO THE BRAVE

(Lyrics : Jeanette Danner & Keith Ridenour)

Johnny just left home for his second tour

With a baby on the way it’s harder than before

As he said goodbye, he wiped the tears away

He’s off to fight again

For the USA

(Chorus)

Thanks to the brave we’re the land of the free

And whenever duty calls they’ll be all that they can be

For every soldier’s scar and every soldier’s grave

We’re the land of the free – thanks to the brave

(Verse 2)

The day that Jenny left her mom and daddy cried

Their heads were filled with worry, their hearts were filled with pride

Two long years have passed and now she’s finally home

But as she fall asleep at night

She still hears those bombs explode

(Chorus)

Thanks to the brave we’re the land of the free

And whenever duty calls they are all that they can be

For every soldier’s scar and every soldier’s grave

We’re the land of the free – thanks to the brave

(Bridge)

Thanks to the brave for all that they do

Every day they lay down their lives for me and you

Thanks to the brave

(Chorus)

Thanks to the brave we’re the land of the free

And whenever duty calls they are all that they can be

For every soldier’s scar and every soldier’s grave

We’re the land of the free – thanks to the brave
