Run For The WALL. The sun is hot upon their backs, these many all dressed in black. They come from far and wide  to ride to the WALL ; The many miles side by side. They are on a mission you see , to share these words from sea to shining sea. Twenty three years of honor they all cry ;  ”We ride in freedom for those who can’t “ with a gleam in their eye. They are vets --young and old , Supporters and wives to I am told. Their resolve is strong and clear As they make this ride each and every year. To honor those who gave their all , And to each and every one that answered the call. To carry the torch and teach our young , That this mission is not yet done. And bring them home no matter what , Tellin the politicians with swift boot to their butt. They  are the RFTW family strong and true , Members of the biker nation thru and thru . As they pass the line is long , And suddenly I understand and want to join along. Yes--these who ride under the Red ,White and Blue , Do so for each and every one of you. These --the many that ride as one , And will ensure this work will get done. As the children stand waving -in awe , We all wonder : will they recall? Will they understand the words we speak , and learn of the miles we have yet to meet? Their smiles tell us of hope and cheer , And we realize it's all worth it as we draw near. For Rainelle is our last stop at this mountain station , As we pick up more from across the nation. Now on to D.C. they head , to honor our vets both living and dead. In the distance they see the reason , They have anxiously waited for all season. The Wall and all the names , We didn’t do this for personal fame. And this doesn't mean our work is done ., In fact-- it has only just begun. Not until all the answers are in , And each and every one is brought home again. Maybe then there will be no need , For the RFTW family to mount their iron steed. But until that day comes thru , They will continue to ride honor bound n true. For this event is full of tradition , and for each who rides it”s a conscious decision . To make a difference and carry the word , Across this great land our voice will be heard. And as they ride off into the sunset , Again you can hear them cry--NEVER FORGET!!
