Just 21 years of age
When it finally came the day
To leave his family behind him
And he flew away
Not old enough to rent a car
He'd never traveled quite that far
But he had to leave anyway
And he told his wife "Before I go
I'm sorry to leave you all alone,
But there is one thing you should always know
I'm fighting for you, baby
I'm fighting for us, baby
I'm fighting for the little girl we don't even have yet
I'm fighting for Country
I'm fighting for freedom
I'm fighting for U, I'm fighting for US, I'm fighting for A"
Now, I know that there are some of you
Who think war's something that we shouldn't do
But with freedom, there comes a cost
I'm not asking you to change your ways
All I'm asking you is to stand and say
"Thank you" to those who've lost
And when you see a soldier all alone
Standing far away from home
There is one thing you should always know
They're fighting for you, baby
They're fighting for us, baby
They're fighting for all the dreams we don't even have yet
They're fighting for Country
They're fighting for freedom
They're fighting for U, they're fighting for US, and they're fighting for A
America, how beautiful
May we ever stand so strong
And may we show the world our love
Give them strength to carry on
They're fighting for you, baby
They're fighting for us, baby
They're fighting for all the dreams we don't even have yet
They're fighting for Country
They're fighting for EVERYTHING
They're fighting for U, they're fighting for US
They're fighting for U, they're fighting for US
They're fighting for U, they're fighting for US
