Lyrics of Dave Mercier – Give It Up

Open up the bottle
And pour me your wine
Let’s drink a toast to all those folks
Who sacrificed their time
Give it up to the preacher
Who keeps you in line
Cause the fire that consumes you
Would eat you alive

So give it up to the preacher
Give it up from the crowd
Give it up to the ones you love
Who sacrificed their time
And threw y’all a line
So give it up

Venerate the Soldier
Please show them a smile
They sacrificed and paid the price
Let’s love them all the while

So give It up to the people
Who gave of their lives’
Cause the only thing that matters
Is love every time

So Give it up to the Soldiers
Give it up to the proud
Give it up to the ones who fought
And died without a sound
And won’t be coming round
So give it up

Is it so hard to change?
How many different reasons can you blame?
But I want you to try
See the love in children’s eyes
Watch the beauty of a smile
I think it’s plain
It’s the moments that remain

Fire up the grill boys
Have drinks all around
And raise your glass
To days gone past
Let’s make your bothers proud
Let’s give it up to the selfless
Who give of their time
Cause the only thing that matters
Is what’s left behind

So give it up for the hero’s
Give it up for the brave
Give it up for those who sacrificed
And all the lives they’ve saved
And prices that they’ve paid

So give it up for the ones you’ve lost
Don’t you know who they are?
Give it up for the land we love
And all who’ve paid the price
With all their sacrifice
So give it up
