****Best Viewed "Full Screen". Music may be heard on IE**** Labor of Love by Nancy L. Meek ©09-10-02 Peace and Freedom are not easily born 'Tis a Labor of Love of the Highest Degree On Wings from Above, we embrace the Morn, We are the Eagle.....Born to Be Free. Behind the scenes, our Soldiers stand Ready to answer Our Nation's Call To endure the Labor, whatever Command To Stay the Course, Giving their All. Something over the horizon draws their eye Something larger than themselves, it seems Perhaps they see our wings in a peaceful sky An Embryonic Vision, still cloistered in dreams. We do not rise each day, trying to pretend The worst has already come, for sadly we know Our Fight for Peace is not nearly at an end... Our enemies will strike another vicious blow! But we are a People Stronger....with Morals Greater In the face of danger, forever Standing Tough Not only for our own, but for our neighbors Who resound our cry, "We have had enough!" From beginning to end, our Soldiers will fight Come hell or high water, through fire or flood Protecting "Home-Sweet-Home" with Awesome Might Like a Mother Eagle......It's in our blood! We will not rest until the Victory is Ours 'Though the Labor be painful and long We'll brace for the worst in those final hours "America the Beautiful" forever Strong! O beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain! America! America! God shed His grace on thee, And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea. O beautiful for heroes proved In liberating strife, Who more than self their country loved And mercy more than life! America! America! May God thy gold refine, Till all success be nobleness, And ev'ry gain divine. O beautiful for patriot dream That sees, beyond the years, Thine alabaster cities gleam__ Undimmed by human tears! America! America! God shed His grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea! If God is among us, who can be against US In this holiest of wars with determined men The terrorists have yet to see the end of US We'll fight to the death, Peace and Freedom to Win! Quakes, drought, famine, pestilence and flood Wars and rumors of wars are everywhere Exhausted from seeing Innocent Blood... We scream like the Eagle soaring up there Peace and Freedom are not easily born 'Tis a Labor of Love of the Highest Degree On Wings from Above, we embrace the Morn We are the Eagle....Born to Be Free!
