lirik lagu steven s. billings - branches
he was born to a legacy of great american pride
to those who loved and served their country well
i’ve watched him now for years, you see; we grew up side-by-side
and oh, the many stories i could tell!
he learned to know the presidents and the nation that they served
its history, and all that makes it great
still a teen, he determined his beloved land deserved
his service, too, regardless of his fate
from early on his heart was drawn to the cl-sters and the flag
mementos of our grand-dad in the hall
like a branch of the oak tree, with grand-dad he stands tall
having answered his beloved county’s call
on the wings of eagles he will fly
for others willingly to give his life
and like those who’ve gone before him, he lives for you and me
shimmering among the leaves upon the tree
now we are engaged in a warfare fierce and long;
the enemy is difficult to fight
and proud we are of soldiers who are brave and who are strong
standing firm for all that’s good and right
the war of words is just as fierce and harder to oppose
and those who fight it well are in demand
for words can mobilize the throngs with poetry and prose
and like our dad, my brother’s such a man
from early on his heart was drawn to the crafting of a phrase
i’m really not sure when it all began
but like a branch of the oak tree, with dad he still stands strong
and mighty is his hand around a pen
on the wings of eagles he will fly
for others willingly to give his life
and like those who’ve gone before him, he lives for you and me
shimmering among the leaves upon the tree
the mighty oak tree stands so strong and high
it’s branches reaching up into the sky
and like the un-sung heroes who lived in days gone by
he points the way to god, who hears our cry!
on the wings of eagles he will fly
for others willingly to give his life
and like those who’ve gone before him, he lives for you and me
shimmering among the leaves upon the tree
