Story Behind the Song
This song was written to honor the US Armed Forces. It was re-written to reflect on the current landscape of war with Iraq. Whether for or against war, Americans must be FOR the troops.
Lyrics
God Bless the soldiers who stand in harm’s way.
Bless those who sacrifice to protect the American way.
Securing freedom, risking their own lives.
God Bless the people of America’s armed forces.
God Bless the Army, God Bless the Navy,
God Bless the Air Force, God Bless the Marines
Bless the Army, God Bless the Navy,
God Bless the Air Force, God Bless the Marines
From Saudi Arabia to San Diego,
From Hawaii to wherever our soldiers must go
On the aircraft carrier, or on a submarine, Bless those on battleships and airplanes unseen.
God Bless the Army, God Bless the Navy,
God Bless the Air Force, God Bless the Marines
Bless the Army, God Bless the Navy,
God Bless the Air Force, God Bless the Marines
From the private-first-class to four-star General
Everyone in between we salute you all.
Flying a helicopter or driving a tank.
We raise our hand to give you thanks.
God Bless the Army, God Bless the Navy,
God Bless the Air Force, God Bless the Marines
Bless the Army, God Bless the Navy,
God Bless the Air Force, God Bless the Marines
God Bless the Army, God Bless the Navy,
God Bless the Air Force, God Bless the Marines
Bless the Army, God Bless the Navy,
God Bless the Air Force, God Bless the Marines
God Bless the Army, God Bless the Navy,
God Bless the Air Force, God Bless the Marines
Bless the Army, God Bless the Navy,
God Bless the Air Force, God Bless the Marines
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
