Thank You - Ray Stevens

Reporters on TV

Show protesters in the street

Someone burns a flag

To show just how they feel

Well I just can’t believe my eyes

As they spit on the stars and stripes

How can anyone feel that way, for real

So if no one’s taken time to tell you lately

Here’s a message that you should be hearing daily

Thank you

Army troops in tan and green

Navy, air force, and marines

Thank you

For doing what you do

For the red, white, and blue

Thank you

Every time you take a bomb

It’s to keep us safe from harm

And to keep this country free

Thank you

«War is not the answer», reads a big sign in a yard

Of some takers of this free life that we’re living

Now we all have a choice, like to raise our voice

But what about those brave hearts out there giving

So if no one’s taken the time to tell you lately

Here’s a message that you should be hearing daily

Thank you

Green berets and navy seals

And all you soldiers in the field

Thank you

Full time and reserve

You don’t get what you deserve

Thank you

Every time you take the bomb

Just to keep us safe from harm

And to help somebody free

Thank you
