Father To Son

My dad always said, "now listen to me son, don't you ever get caught up in fights or drugs" And I stand up for this flag, our soldiers and all they've done And they hold on to their life by the trigger of that gun When you're tired and broken, and your battles done Think of all that you're thankful for and you'll know you've won You've got to stand for what you believe in, and be an honest man my son This world is cold and heartless, some feel it's a game When you're tired and broken, and your battles done Think of all that you're thankful for and you'll know you've won Freedom don't come easy persuit of happiness is a dream But in this land, a man can make it, if he keeps it straight Now lay down and get your rest, you got your whole life ahead Don't get lost planning for a future, you might end up dead When you're tired and broken, and your battles done Think of all that you're thankful for and you'll know you've won
