You went in, your choice, to fight for those that want a voice.
Went in to the corps, you wanted more,
not a war but you did it to support your country
The lives you saved, the freedom you put your life on the line for,
the blood you saw, this is a fight, mind and body, this is a war.
All the while you had pride, you wanted to unify
and what you knew you stayed true to
You stood up for what you believe in
Even when others made fun and cursed you
Put a gun to your chest, a knife to your neck
You still remain and passed the test
Your job was completed

CHORUS:
Your religion shouldn't have mattered
because when the bomb comes
it doesn't discriminate, doesn't know hate,
everybody's blood splatters
Just flesh and blood, one man, in the desert sand
Now what you took for granted was gone
No time to think about the future - what the hell if they shoot ya
But your faith was always yours to keep,
close to your head and close to your heart
Something thats yours, something thats deep
Free of forced conformity
You'll never forget - Just a little respect
cuz all you have now is that dogtag around your neck

Here lie officers and men of all colors
Rich men and poor men together
Here are Protestants, Catholics and Jews - all together
Here no man prefers another because of his faith,
Or despises a man because of his color
Here there are no quotas: how many of each group are admitted or allowed.
Among these men there is no discrimination. No prejudice. No hatred.
Theirs is the highest and purest democracy.
Any among us, the living (the free),
who fail to understand that, will thereby betray those who lie here
Whoever lifts a hand in hate against a brother,
or thinks himself superior to those who happen to be in the minority,
makes of their sacrifice an empty hollow mockery.
Thus do we consecrate ourselves, the living, to carry on the struggle that they began.
Too much blood has gone into this soil for us to let it lie barren.

A dogtag to remind us of our names
Our clothes to show em we ain't the same
The language we share to communicate
We got to know each other in our own way
We chose to say “we will do and we will listen”
While we have it we don't know what we're missing
When someone tries to take it away from us
Cuz they're ignorant and they're hating us
We survive cuz G put His faith in us
It's been that way since the Exodus
We unify and bring out the best in us
History has shown you don't mess with us
Still we join and fight for the nations that we live in
Soldiers risk their lives for the freedom we believe in
We look forward as long as our hearts are still beating
In G-d's eyes all men are created equal
