Amy Jack Veteran Lyrics

Dusty boots
Standing in line
I'm just here to do what's right
We'll pay the price
To defend our dream
So our boys and girls can sleep
We hold the flag close to our chest
Stand up tall cause we are blessed

You and I know
That this is our calling
On our knees we're falling
For the Man upstairs

But we will rise
To remember all the lives
That paid their dues in blood and pain and all the names forsaken
We are the shield
We left it on the field
There is no end
To the love and honor within
The heart of a veteran

Every scar
Every mile
Peace through strength
This is our trial...this is our trial
All we need's a little courage
So that you don't have to worry
We always fight for the greater good
Marching on just like we should And you and I know
That this is our calling
On our knees we're falling

But we will rise
To remember all the lives
That paid their dues in blood and pain and all the names forsaken
We are the shield
We left it on the field
There is no end
To the love and honor within
The heart of a veteran

We give you our legacy
Echoes day and night
We will fight for our liberty
But we march on

But we will rise
To remember all the lives
That paid their dues in blood and pain and all the names forsaken
We are the shield
We left it on the field
There is no end
To the love and honor within
The heart of a veteran
The heart of a veteran
The heart of a veteran
The heart of a veteran
