A snowstorm on a winter night
God brought you into our lives
A little 5 pound baby boy
Complications had set in
Your momma struggled but couldn't win
We lost her in the end
So I took you home and carried on
Livin' each day like nothing was wrong
But I knew it all along
It wasn't more then a couple of weeks
Uncle Sam came callin', he needed me
To fight in his war
So I swear my soul forever more
To the red white and blue
I'd give my life in the blink of an eye
To keep this country safe for you
I'll never surrender, I'll always protect you
Cradled in my arms
I pledge allegiance to the flag
And I pledge my love to you
I came home with a bullet wound
And an anchor on my heart
Its a brand new start
But on that first day of school
When I dropped you off, I heard the news
I knew I had to do my part
So I swear my soul forever more
To the red white and blue
I'd give my life in the blink of an eye
To keep this country safe for you
I'll never surrender, I'll always protect you
Cradled in my arms
I pledge allegiance to the flag
And I pledge my love to you
And as I watched you grow up to be a man
I'm proud to know I did the best I can
I still remember how it made me cry
When you boarded that train and waved goodbye
You were my only boy
A flag flies on the day you died
Old glory, America's pride
You were my pride and joy
So you gave your soul, forever more
To the red white and blue
And you lost your life in the blink of an eye
To keep this country safe, its true
No never surrender, I'll always respect you
Cradled safe from harm
I pledge allegiance to the flag
And pledge my love to you...
Love to you...
Love to you...
Love to you...
