A pact and a Promise

A Pact and a Promise



You've been through a lot,
You went and you fought
You earned your fame
When your enemies came.

And now that you're back,
Let's make a pact.

I'll care for you
Since you cared for me.
If it wasn't for you,
My country would not be.

You did not fight alone,
You fought alongside your brothers.
And now that responsibility
Falls into the hands of others.

This is my promise to you:
I will lift you up when you feel blue,
When your memories haunt you
I'll help you through.
Veterans, I thank you!
