Sweet Little Boy

de Corey Smith

Stand Our Ground
Take me up to Rose Hill
When you lay my body low
Wrap me in a flag, throw some flowers on the ground,
Say a few words then let me go

There's no need to defend my honor
Or justify the life I gave
There's no need for the pictures of my happy childhood there, please
Don't pour salt upon my grave

I knew long ago that I would be the one
To brandish my sword should they beat those battle drums
I stood my ground, I stood for something
Worth falling for

Ask my father to forgive me
I know he didn't understand
He worked too hard for way too many years
To lose his only boy in a foreign sand

No doubt, he is angry
No doubt where he'll put the blame
But don't let him fall apart, Mama,
Don't let him go back to the pills
Only pride will ease his pain

I died a patriot, a soldier just like him
Fought like he taught me to, until the very end
I stood my ground, I stood for something
Worth falling for

Take my stripes and take my medals
Take my flag and dog tags too
Put 'em in a package, stain it with your tears,
Send it up to Pennsylvania Avenue

My last regards to the man in charge
Let him know I served my country well
He was right behind me all the way to Kandahar
The night my broken body fell

Don't let a day go by without a peaceful prayer
For my brothers and my sisters still fighting over there
They stand their ground, they stand for something
Worth falling for
