The song playing, "Testify" is our tribute to American soldiers...
written by both of us... here are the lyrics...
See that flag flying there
flying high above the trees
everytime I see it there
it brings me to my knees
I can see smoke rising thru
the holes where it is torn
but Old Glory's still flying high
and it's coming thru the storm
Sometimes freedom isnt free
we are our own worst enemy
someday you'll know your destiny
and blaze a trail for faith and glory
the heart of everything that is
the soul of everyone who lives
the blood of all who dies for it
ashes on the wind so brisk
I walked the banks of a raging river�
then I swam to the other side
I heard the call to stand and deliver
took the oath and testified
The price you pay for broken dreams
the pain you feel and what it means
the voice you hear in a distant scream
the part you play in the final scene
The heart of everything that is
the soul of everyone who lives
the blood of all who dies for it
ashes on the wind so brisk
I walked the banks of a raging river�
then i swam to the other side
I heard the call to stand and deliver
took the oath and testified
There comes a time in every life
when you stand for what you believe
if you don't stand for what is right
then you'll fall for anything
