I (We) Honor Back

Tomorrow, the nation honors our Veterans. We at the Big sites are proud of our own Jon David Kahn for putting into words and music how so many of us feel about our Veterans and active duty military personnel. It is a day for all of us to be grateful…and to Honor Back.

I Honor Back – written by Jon David Kahn

You have seen the truth

And held your brother’s hand

You bled your way through dust and wind

In some strange and foreign land

Miles in the darkness

With courage by your side

You brought the battle to them

So we can sleep at night

You honored me

With your strength

With your faith

With your fearlessness and grace

And through it all you held the flag

You honored me

Now I honor back

How can I repay a priceless sacrifice?

‘Cause some something short of everything

Just wouldn’t seem polite

You honored me

With your strength

With your faith

With your fearlessness and grace

And through it all you held the flag

You honored me

Now I honor back

With a song

And hope that it might make you feel right

When you feel wrong

‘Cause you’re a hero

Even if sometimes it feels as if you’re gone

You honored me

With your strength

With your faith

With your fearlessness and grace

And through it all you held the flag

You honored me

Now I honor back

With all my heart

With all my love

And pray that it might be enough

So you will know I understand

You honored me

Now I honor back

You honored me

I honor back
