Some Gave All
Billy Ray Cyrus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Few folks even knew his name
But a hero, yes was he
Left a boy, came back a man
Still many just don't understand
About the reasons we are free
I can't forget the look in his eyes
Or the tears he cried
[Chorus]
All Gave Some, Some Gave All
Some stood through for the red, white and blue
And some had to fall
And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall
Some Gave All
Now Sandy Cane is no longer here
But his words are oh so clear
As they echo throughout our land
For all his friends who gave us all
Who stood their ground and took the fall
To help their fellow man
Love your country and live with pride
And don't forget those who died
America can't you see?
[Chorus]
And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall
Yes recall
Some Gave All
Some Gave All
The lyrics of the song 'Some Gave All' by Billy Ray Cyrus is a tribute to the brave soldiers who fought and sacrificed their lives to protect the freedom of their country. The verse 'I knew a man, called him Sandy Cane, Few folks even knew his name, But a hero, yes was he' is about a man who may not have been famous or well-known, yet he was a hero who fought for his country. The verse 'Left a boy, came back a man, Still, many just don't understand, About the reasons we are free' suggests that wars and sacrifices made by soldiers were not in vain and that it is important to understand why they fought.
The chorus 'All Gave Some, Some Gave All, Some stood through for the red, white and blue, And some had to fall' is a powerful message that honors all the soldiers who fought for their country, whether they made it back home or not. It emphasizes how every soldier who fought in the war is a hero, and every soldier has contributed to the freedom that the American people enjoy today. The verse, 'Love your country and live with pride, And don't forget those who died' is a call to action for everyone to love their country and be proud of their nation while remembering the sacrifices that were made to ensure their freedom.

Maybe don't support a corrupt dictator that attempted to consume another country and develop a monopoly on the oil market (Saddam [Iraq] )
Maybe don't accept aid from the Soviets, fight for liberation, then harbor Al Qaeda (Afghanistan)
Maybe don't sanction terrorist cells governmentally (Yemen)
Maybe don't harbor a known terrorist that killed thousands single handedly (Osama, Pakistan [911])
Maybe don't order rocket attacks on civilians (Palestine)
Maybe don't openly support the spread of communism (Vietnam)
Maybe don't commit genocide (Germany)
Maybe don't form a communistic coup (Korea)
If you were a leader or elected official of one of these countries, don't you think you would ask yourself:
"Maybe fucking don't?"
If you live in my country you make me fucking sick. Maybe don't stay.
