They Fight For The Right

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
