Sacrifice...For Me

歌詞

Boy grew up in Caroline Tobacco farm on the mountainside Played football for the high school team Fell in love with Sally Jean Heard the call of his Uncle Sam Headed off to Viet Nam When he comes home gonna settle down But somewhere, in a river The soldier died... For me Navajo boy stares at the sky Tired of the reservation life He has hopes. He has dreams Joins the United States Marines Marine works hard, he pulls his weight His people are proud. He's a hero they say When he comes home, gonna be a great day But somewhere, in a desert The Marine died... For me So I can live In the land of free Raise my kids Live my dreams There's a price For liberty Sacrifice... for me Punches that clock at a half past eight Just like any other day Brooklyn fireman callin' home Gonna be late something big is going on The world had changed in just one day The devil himself had sent those planes When he gets home gonna hold his wife But somewhere, in a tower The fireman died... For me So I can live In the land of free Raise my kids Live my dreams There's a price For liberty Sacrifice... for me Long black wall Fields of green Pillar of fire Distant beach Cross of white The hero dies Sacrifice...for me
