Roots of Our Family Tree

by

Roy Wayne Crouch

Standing tall before us
Our history we can see
Americans of valor
And their fight to keep us free

Many wars and battles
Our fathers and our sons
With mothers and our daughters
This torch that passes on

I write, not of family
Not even about tall trees
It’s about the roots of people
Who’ve kept our nation free

Each day we all go to work
The roots that no one sees
So they raise our taxes
It helps to keep us free

Now roots be strong our nation
We have to pay our price
Some pay this with their money
Others pay this with their life

So stand tall America
So our children can be free
Our roots are in our blood and sweat
America’s roots our family tree
