Shiver
o.w. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When he was young his father died
Fighting for our country's pride
When he finally became a man
He chose to fight for Uncle Sam

His platoon was ordered off to war
Traveled through the night to a foreign shore
They fought with honor and sacrifice
We won the battle but he lost his life

When she was young she lost her mom
Who gave her life in Vietnam
She became a sailor refused to quit
Now she proudly defends her ship

Then one day they sailed across the seas
To engage and take down the enemy
The battle raged and peace would win
But she lost five of her best friends

And When I see our flag
Hear our country's song
I know there's a soldier
Leaving their home
To go fight for freedom
And the red white and blue
America thanks you

And we may not know their names
But they haven't died in vain
And we may not be the ones to go fight
But we can honor their sacrifice
We can honor their sacrifice

And when I see our flag
Hear our country's song
I know there's a soldier
Leaving their home
To go fight for freedom
And the red white and blue
America thanks you
America thanks you

America, America
God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good
With brotherhood




From sea to shining sea
From sea to shining sea
