I'm Joining The Troopscountry as flag
I am tired of watching the news
But I can't take my eyes away
My heart just breaks anew
Every single day.

I see brave men and women
Some look like boys and girls
Yet they are man enough
To go and protect our world.

I feel guilty when I go to shop
Yet it is something I must do
We have to carry on
Under the red white and blue.

When I answer the phone
Hear my love ones on the telephone line
I wonder how the families feel
With their love ones on the front line.

When I kneel to pray
It's the first thing on my mind
And praying for the troops
Is the best peace I can find.

Like you I have wondered what I could do
Is there any way to help
I'm too old, I'm too young, my steps not sure
So I couldn't go myself.

I can't get up I can hardly lie down
So what is there left to do
But there is a war here at home
That's left for me and you.

PRAYER is the weapon, FAITH the ammunition
KNEES the battle ground
GOD is our VICTORY, UNITY our pledge
Arm in arm we shall be found.

My pledge is to remember
And not get slack
But pray for our troops
Till everyone gets back.
