Reopen The Bases
The U.S. Government hires so many
Dresses them in uniforms
And send them out to fight wars
They fight and some die
Others come home crippled
Unable to work or find a home
So, they live on the streets
While thousands of homes sit empty
Government homes the president ordered closed
Someone, somewhere has to ask why
Why are the closed bases not given to the people
Given to the soldiers who asked for nothing
They served for the love of a country
A country who turned their back
When they stepped off of the plane
Take the time to thank them
Give them somewhere to live
Somewhere to be a person again
Instead of the unwanted that you made them
After all, they served you
Now is your turn to serve them
Reopen the bases and give them a home
Give them their lives back
