Like my father
And his father
his father before
Watch the soil burn
in the fire War after war
Done things I didn’t know
I could For the common good
Tomorrow I ride at dawn
Give a man a hundred years
he’ll want a hundred more
Give him a hundred choices
he still chooses war
From Salem Poor to Genghis Khan
Tomorrow I ride at dawn
I was born for battle
I was born to lead
I was born to help those who
have dreams of being free
Brother stop your crying sister
dry your eyes
You’ll hear my medals ringing
from Shreveport to Shabagan
Tomorrow I ride at dawn
At first light I march to battle
Not my own life but brothers’
I must save
And when you hear
those pipes and drummers
You’ll know I marched to glory
or proudly to my grave
Tell my loved ones
they must carry on
For tomorrow I ride at dawn
Tomorrow I ride at dawn
Tomorrow I ride at dawn
Tell my loved ones
they must carry on
For tomorrow I ride at dawn
