I was told to stand tall represent and fight
Stripped down and rebuilt ready to set things right
Now shadows flicker faces haunt my night
Voices whisper a silent plight
Who am I that black veteran you forget
Promised much like acres and a mule yet
Here we stand honor lost not just yet
Give what's due in this life-long duel
Told to bear the pain embrace the strain
Seeking help brings shame like a permanent stain
But my courage won't wane through the night I reign
In every heartbeat echoes of my refrain
Who am I that black veteran you forget
Promised much like acres and a mule yet
Here we stand honor lost not just yet
Give what's due in this life-long duel
Once saluted revered a patriot true
Now misplaced forgotten faded hues
Yet still I rise in the dawn's early light
Battling more than foes fighting for what's right
Who am I that black veteran you forget
Promised much like acres and a mule yet
Here we stand honor lost not just yet
Give what's due in this life-long duel
Here we go again history's cruel jest
Promises like ghosts east to west
But I stand firm won't be laid to rest
Until the dues are paid this is my quest
Who am I that black veteran you forget
Promised much like acres and a mule yet
Here we stand honor lost not just yet
Give what's due in this life-long duel
