My American Hero

God bless the red white and blue
God do i miss you
Today is a cold dark day for me
because i had to set your spirit free
I wipe my wet eyes
As i say my last goodbyes

The story i was told made you an American Hero,
But it has left me all alone feeling like a nobody, a zero,
You and 2 other soldiers were ordered to stay behind,
Because you had a wounded solider to find,
You went back through the unsettled dust, but what you found wasn't what you were looking for,
But when you saw her your heart tore,
She was so little,
And her mother was dead and brittle,
She was holding on to her teddy bear and in the other was her moms pale dead hand,
Her little body stood in the painted red sand,
You picked her up and held her tight,
You told her it would all be alright as you ran off into the dark night,
You reunited with the other 2,
And suddenly bullets flew,
The sharp pain ran smoothly through your back,
As you set the little girl down your 2 men stopped dead in track,
They came over to you,
You gave them your wedding ring and said Gold Bless The Red White And Blue

Today is a cold dark day for me
Because i have to set your spirit free,
You are My American Hero
God do i miss you
God Bless The Red White And Blue
