Serve My Country Lyrics
Verse 1
Wearing my new kicks, surfing the net
My drink order isn’t quite ready yet
As I Download a new app on my phone
Easy to forget, Didn’t get here on my own
When you think about everything we’ve been through
Its been a lot of change, it’s true
New colonies, independance, civil war,
Industrial revolution, wait there’s more
Verse 2
World War 1, Spanish flu
Great depression, World War 2
JFK, Civil rights, racial hate,
Korea, viet nam, watergate
Cold war, computers, internet
911, Iraq War, Isis threat
Financial crisis, Sandy Hook
Covid 19, George Floyd was took
Pre-Chorus 1
As a thanks to those who died for me
To pursue a life of this prosperity
It’s just not possible to pay it back
A time machine is something I lack
The very best thing that I can do
Is foster a servants heart, it’s true
Try to pay it forward is what’s best
Gonna serve others in the US Congress
Chorus
I’m here to serve my country
It's not a destination for me
Democracy means I don’t stay in office endlessly
I’m here to serve my country
It's not my identity
I’ll take a turn then resume my career for my own prosperity
Verse 3
Now the danger in giving back this way
Is thinking this is a career and you should stay
About 6 years, you’ve done your part
Then passing on the baton is what’s smart
Set up the next member for success
Is what we call American progress
Working together as nation this way
Ensures our future does not run astray
Chorus
I’m here to serve my country
It's not a destination for me
Democracy means I don’t stay in office endlessly
I’m here to serve my country
It's not my identity
I’ll take a turn then resume my career for my own prosperity
Chorus
I’m here to serve my country
It's not a destination for me
Democracy means I don’t stay in office endlessly
I’m here to serve my country
It's not my identity
I’ll take a turn then resume my career for my own prosperity
