“AS THE YEARS GO PASSING BY,
ANOTHER MEMORY LONG GONE,
I START REGRESSING,
THEN FORGETTING.
THEN I OPEN AN OLD BOX,
LOOK INSIDE,
SEE WHAT I GOT,
IT’S FULL OF MEMORIES,
NOW THE TEARS BEGIN.

SOMETIMES I FORGET WHO I AM,
LOOK IN THE MIRROR, THERE I AM.

I’M A VETERAN
I LOVE MY COUNTRY AND I LOVE MY FLAG.
I’M A VETERAN
AND MY BROTHERS WHO I OWE MY LIFE.
I’M A VETERAN
MY HEART IS BURSTING FULL OF PRIDE.
I’M A VETERAN
WHOA OH, OHH, OH OH, OH OH OH, OH OHH.
I’M A VETERAN

SEE MY MEDALS PICK THEM UP,
CLEAN THEM UP AND DUST THEM OFF,
IT’S OVERWHELMING,
A HEAVY FEELING.
SEE THE PHOTOS OF MY FRIENDS,
HAPPY TIMES THAT WE WOULD SHARE,
WHAT A LIFE WE LIVED,
I’M SO GLAD WE DID

NOW I REMEMBER WHO I AM,
LOOK IN THE MIRROR,
THERE I AM

I’M A VETERAN
I LOVE MY COUNTRY AND I LOVE MY FLAG.
I’M A VETERAN
AND MY BROTHERS WHO I OWE MY LIFE.
I’M A VETERAN
MY HEART IS BURSTING FULL OF PRIDE.
I’M A VETERAN
WHOA OH, OHH, OH OH, OH OH OH, OH OHH.
I’M A VETERAN
I’M A VETERAN E-YEAH YEAH EH

I’M VETERAN YEAH-E-YEAH EH EH
I’M A VETERAN, I AM
I’M A VETERAN YEAH-E-YEAH EH EH
I’M A VETERAN, WHOA OH, OHH, OH OH, OH OH OH, OH OHH.

I’M A VETERAN”
