A U.S. Marine... by Steve

I,Steven Patrick Gallenstein,
do solemnly swear that I will support and defend
the Constitution of the United States of America,
against all enemies, foreign and domestic;
that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same;
and that I will obey the orders
of the President of the United States and the orders
of the officers appointed over me,
according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
So help me God.
Its the oath that Ive given life to
an oath taken to fight for whats true
It sent chills down my spine when I raised my right hand
and recited the oath when given the command
I just stood there as the tears start to build
caused by the pride of which my heart was filled
It was official, I was sworn in, into the fight
Now another muscle of Americas might
might that can be soft, and might that can crush
Marines that fight...rush after rush
never give up..fight to the death
Ill stick by my rifle, Ill give my last breath
alive or dead never leave a man behind
I'll get him out..whatever the bind
together we'll hurt, and together we'll cry
together we'll pray, and together we'll die
the fight may be over but the war will go on
It won't end until the last enemies gone
then they'll look to the sky as the flag is risen
and remember the Marines that have escaped this prison
the stars and stripes, the red, white, and blue
flown still cause of the lives paid, for me and you
