Some Gave All (Acoustic Version)
Billy Ray Cyrus · Time Flies [Madacy] [2003]
Few folks even knew his name
But a hero was he
Left a boy, came back a man
Still many don't understand
About the reasons we are free.
I can't forget the look in his eyes
Or the tears he cries
As he said these words to me.
All gave some and some gave all
And some stood through
For the red, white and blue
And some had to fall
And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall
Some gave all.
--- Instrumental ---
Now Sandy Kane is no longer here
But his words are oh so clear
As they echo through out our land
For all his friends who gave us all
Who stood the ground and took the fall
To help their fellow man.
Love your country and live with pride
And don't forget those who died
America can't you see.
All gave some and some gave all
And some stood through
For the red, white and blue
And some had to fall
And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall
Some gave all.
And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties
And recall, some gave all.
Some gave all..
