Will you take me up to rose hill
When you lay my body low
Wrap me in a flag throw some flowers on the ground
Say a few words then let me go
Theres no need to defend my honor
Or justify the life i gave
Theres no need for the pictures
Of my happy childhood there to please
Don't pour salt upon my grave
I knew long ago that i would be the one
To brandish my sword should they beat those battle drums

I stood my ground
I stood for something worth falling for

Ask my father to forgive me
I know he didn't understand
He works to hard for way to many years
To loose his boy in a foreign sand
And theres no doubt that hes angry
No doubt where he'll place the blame
But don't let him fall apart momma
Don't let him go back to those pills
Only time will ease the pain
I died a patriot a soldier just like him
Fought like he taught me to until th every end

I stood my ground
I stood for something worth falling for
Yea worth falling for
I hope this wars worth dying for
I hope this wars worth dying for
I hope this wars worth dying for

Take my stripes take my medals
Take my cross and my dog tags too
Put them in a package
And stain it with your tears
And send it up to Pennsylvania avenue
My last regards to the man in charge
Let him know i served my country well
Yea he was right behind me all the way to kandihar
The night my broken body fell
Don't let a day go by without a peaceful prayer
For my brothers and sisters still fighting over there
They stand there ground
They stand for something worth falling for
They stand there ground
They stand for something worth falling for

I hope this wars worth dying for
I hope this wars worth dying for
I hope this wars worth dying for
I hope this wars worth dying for
I hope this wars worth dying for
