Will You take me up to rose hill 

When you lay my body low 

wrap me in a flag and throw some flowers on the ground 

say a few words and then let me go, 

there's no need to defend my honor 

or justify the life i gave 

there's no need for the pictures of my happy childhood there please 

don't pour salt upon my grave 

i knew long ago that i would be the one 

to brandish my sword should they beat those battle drums, ohhh 



I stood my ground 

i stood for something, 

worth falling for 



Ask my father to forgive me, i know he didn't understand 

he worked to hard for way to many years to lose his boy in a foreign sand 

there is no doubt he is angry, theres no doubt where he'll place the blame 

but don't let him fall apart mama, don't let him go back to those pills 

only time will ease the pain, i died a patriot a soldier just like him 

fought like he taught me to until the very end, ohh 



i stood my ground 

i stood for something 

worth falling for yeah yeah 

worth falling for 



i hope this war is worth dying for 

i hope this war is worth dying for 

i hope this war is worth dying for 



Take my strips and take my medals 

take my cross and these dogtags too 

put em in a package stained with your tears 

send em up to pennsylvania ave 

my last regards to the man in charge 

let him know i served my country well 

yeah he was right behind me all the way to kandahar 

the night my broken body fell 

don't let a day go by without a peaceful prayer 

for my brothers and my sisters still fighting over there 



they stand their ground 

they stand for something 

worth falling for x2 



i hope this war is worth dying for 

i hope this war is worth dying for 

i hope this war is worth dying for
