Lyrics
They Fight For The Right (written by Mike Bryant) (key of D/E) (Chorus) They fight for the right To be free within this land They give their lives with honor Every woman and each man They serve theoir country proudly And they never once regret Some return home with their medals While some are laid to rest At night a young man watches From his foxhole deep and wide He's waiting for the dawn to break Though the dawn may take his life For with morning brings the fighting In a war that's never won And he prays to God to keep him safe So he'll go home to see his son (Chorus) They fight for the right To be free within this land They give their lives with honor Every woman and each man They serve theoir country proudly And they never once regret Some return home with their medals While some are laid to rest (Musical Break) (Modulate) A nurse prays for a soldier As his life slips far away He reaches out for comfort Finds her hand and then she prays Father take this young man Into your house this day Cause he faught the fight for freedom And now he's coming home to stay (Chorus) They fight for the right To be free within this land They give their lives with honor Every woman and each man They serve theoir country proudly And they never once regret Some return home with their medals While some are laid to rest Yes they serve their country proudly And they never once regret Some return home with their medals While some are laid to rest
