The uniform came off, but the nightmare was just beginning. A story surfaced on YouTube about a veteran who served America with honor, only to be locked away for 124 days in an immigration detention center in Tacoma. "Soldier Without a Country" captures the painful reality of non-citizen service members who bleed for the flag, then get caught in the crossfire of broken policies.
This song was inspired by the headline: “KING 5 Seattle” from YouTube.
He raised his hand and took the oath,
Swore to defend this land,
Wore the uniform of the U.S. Army,
Served with a steady hand,
But when his duty days were done,
And he came back to Tacoma his home town,
ICE was waiting at the door,
To turn his whole world upside down.
One hundred twenty-four days
Behind detention walls,
A soldier without a country,
Who answered when it called,
They say take service into consideration,
But the policy just stalls,
One hundred twenty-four days—
A veteran falls.
Down in the Tacoma center,
Where the gray walls never end,
Advocates are raising voices
For a man who served to defend,
Non-citizen service members caught
Between the lines of law,
Policies written on the page
But broken without a flaw.
One hundred twenty-four days
Behind detention walls,
A soldier without a country,
Who answered when it called,
They say take service into consideration,
But the policy just stalls,
One hundred twenty-four days—
A veteran falls.
In Washington State the rain comes down
On stories left untold,
Of men who bled beneath our flag
But were left out in the cold,
KING 5 brought it to the light,
Facing Race, they showed his name,
A soldier locked in his own homeland—
Tell me, who deserves the blame?
They handed him a rifle,
Said, "This country is your own,"
But when the battle ended,
They said, "Soldier, go back home,"
Somewhere across an ocean
He never really knew—
He fought for stars and stripes,
Now tell me, what is true?
One hundred twenty-four days
Behind detention walls,
A soldier without a country,
Who answered when it called,
They say take service into consideration,
But the policy just stalls,
One hundred twenty-four days—
A veteran falls.
