Lyrics
You sent him to the backyard
said just go and play,so he went to the sandbox and dug in the sand all day.
You sent him to his first day at school. Said remember the Golden Rule. Don't forget your abc's and
learn to be all that you can be.
Stand on your own, stand for what you believe. Stand for the truth, and at the end of the day get down on your knees and pray.
You send him off to jr. high, played a little football, flag at his side. Kissed a girl oh what happened to him, wasn't he just chasing her in the gym.
You sent off to his high school prom, a pretty little girl pinned a flower on. A Mother sees him grow into a man. Remember what she taught you. Remember how to stand. Chorus
Now she sends him off to war, she knows he knows what he's fighting for . Trust in everything you've learned and she'll be here when you return. For God and Country and honor too, stand up, stand up stand up for the truth. Please be safe and free from harm and when you come home she'll rock you in her grateful arms.
Oh beautiful for spacious skies, these are the tears of a Mother's pride,God bless America, fight for us in God we trust. God shed his grace on thee from sea to shining sea.
