The American Dream

The American Dream
by Sergeant Aaron M. Gilbert

Through all the fires
Through all the pain
The Marines stand tall
To fight once again

Always on call
The Presidents own
Always fighting
To protect our home

My life for our freedom
My freedom to you
These are gifts that we give
For the red white and blue

We die for you
We die for them
We do not complain
About where or when

For this is our job
To fight around the world
And give the gift of our freedom
To every boy and girl

So we fought in this war
With resolve in our hearts
To help Iraq's people
Have a new and free start

So speak of your "peace"
And how war is so wrong
But shut your face when we're called
To give out the freedom we've won

For you did not fight
And you did not bleed
And you did not die
For the American Dream.
