Did you ever take the time A moment or more (Yeah) To stop and thank the ones we left behind On some foreign shore To hear from no more I can picture one of many boys Very brave and so alone Giving up the life that he enjoys Protecting what he has back home Did you ever take the time A moment or more (Yeah) To stop and thank the ones we left behind On some foreign shore To hear from no more Don't you wish that you could do your part For this country proud and tall If we don't finish what we did not start There'll be no country left at all This country that we're living in Knows only that we've got to win No matter what the cost may be Our loss is keeping you and me Free So now we gotta stop and take the time A moment or more (Yeah) To stop and thank the ones we left behind On some foreign shore To hear from no more To hear from no more To hear from no more To hear from no more To hear from no more To hear from no more
