So you dont like me, stand in line...
Just like alot of others you think you better than me and that's fine
I'm not perfect I never claimed to be
I'm trying my hardest to be a good man by being me
...
Give me the scorn of the stars and a peak defiant;
Wail of the pines and a wind with the shout of a giant;
Night and a trail unknown and a heart reliant.
Give me to live and love in the old, bold fashion;
A soldier's billet at night and a soldier's ration;
A heart that leaps to the fight with a soldier's passion.
