Badge Of Courage
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What is a badge of courage?
What makes men fight and die?
What is the badge of courage?
For which brave men try?
It's a simple little thing we wear.
But a thing not just anyone can share.
You must study and learn and work and earn.
The right to the badge of courage.
What is the badge of courage?
It's sweat and blood and tears.
What is the badge of courage?
It's the work of many years.
It's a thousand purple hearts.
For which our blood is shed.
Our toll is written in histories scroll.
In bright bright lines of red.
And it is the medal of honor.
What is the badge of courage?
Well if you don't know now I can't tell you.
