HOPE
13 stripes across my chest
A star which a pone my hart douse rest
Sum say what I represent is the best
But I have scene the sins I must confess
Bombs bursting in air
Hiroshima
I was there I saw it all
On could Brooklyn nights I still here the children ball
I drink and weep to forget
Days of Honor and Valier long faded
Nuremberg
War
Gentlemen now hate this for it is a Gorillas date
Now that the game has changed
Why do I still remain?
I fought for war bounds
I fought Nazi's
I fought Russians
I fought pollutions
I am tired of fighting God
Why can't little jimmy say "one nation"
For that is what we are?
13 stripes across my chest
Although horror remains in are past
I stand here dead fast
For no mater how many times
I see thus 13 stripes
50 stare each a beckon of hope
We all know are past
But no one knows where we will head
This is are path
White Blue Red
13 stripes across my soul
And a shield for God Glory and that is to behold
When that flag waves and flaps though the air
A smile grasses this old mans face
Any one who would threaten that, I dare
Each new generation brings a haul new face
With every new face that is to behold
There is a rebirth of hope
