i knew a man called him sandy cane

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 cried

as he said these words to me

all gave some

and some gave all

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 cane is no longer here

but his words are oh so clear

as they echo throughout our land

for all his friends who gave us all

who stood their 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

all gave some

and some gave all

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

and if you ever think of me

think of all your liberties and recall

yes recall

some gave all

some gave all
