zoli althea browne - s. f. brotherhood lyrics
“little girl holds her daddy’s hand”
“he’s been feeling he’s less than a man
but the truth is he’s greater than he’s ever been
he served his country for pitiful pay
and he’s here walking these halls today
one leg and arm given for freedom’s call
love of country, he feels it so
those special forces, they truly know
how deep that sacrifice can really be
his daddy told stories of viet nam
he’s got a few of his own from afghanistan
and three tours later returned a wizened man
de opresso liber binds the honor code
“to free the oppressed” though most never know
that silence holds the greatest truth of all
with pineland freed he found his strength
and quelled the fears that he used to think
life on a team gave him confidence he knew he’d won
and he’ll never brag his deeds of war
‘cause too many posers gone there before
not a hero among them, when all they do is pose and lie
so, those who never did and never knew
better watch your back ‘cause they’re watching you
the s. f. brothers rise to the eagle’s call
and if walls could talk about what has been
they’d praise and honor those s. f. men
who defend this country in times of its greatest need
sacrifices of body and mind
live on forever through sp-ce and time”
“within those hallowed walls of honor at madigan.”
