Some Gave All -- Billy Ray Cyrus

I knew a man called him Sandy Kane  Few folks even knew his name
But a hero yes was he  Left a boy, came back a man
Still many just 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 


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

(**)   

And if you ever think of me   Think of all your liberties and recall, yes recall
Some gave all    Some gave all                                                            (sing365)
