Never Kneel
Lyrics, vocals - Krause

Music, guitars, bass, percussion - Leonard 
 

​

There’s somethin’

That you can give

There’s somethin’

That you can get

And the thin’

That I’m most prouda

Is a thin’

They call respect

And I

Respect myself

And I do

Most all of you

But the thin’

That most respect I

Is the ol’

Red, white, and blue

 

And so I

I gotta say

That there’s nothin’

To me more true

Than the message

That I’m sendin’

And I’m sendin’

It on to you

Never kneel, never kneel, never kneel

Never kneel, never kneel, never kneel

Is the way I feel… and I’ll never kneel

 

My daddy fought

For this country

In war

My uncle died

My mommma

Lost her brother

And I watched

Her cry and cry

​

And they wore

Their uniforms

With confidence

And with pride

My daddy was

Proud that he served

Up until

The day he died

And he always

Said to me

Son it’s your

Choice to decide

​

​

​

​

​

 

And so I

I Gotta say

And I’m sayin’

It with pride

And you know

The choice I’mmmmm

Gonna make

As I stand

On the Right side

Never kneel, never kneel, never kneel

Never kneel, never kneel, never kneel

Is the way I feel… and I’ll never kneel

 

Well I got

My daddy’s Purple Heart

And I keep

It with his flag

And he

ain’t never one

To boast

Or ta brag

And there’s one

Thing that I swear

And one thing

I guarantee

That there ain’t

No way he’s ever

Ever, ever

Getting’ on his knee

And the one thing

That he always

Said to me

With certainty

 

Never kneel, never kneel, never kneel

Never kneel, never kneel, never kneel

Is the way I feel… and I’ll never kneel

Never kneel, never kneel, never kneel

Never kneel, never kneel, never kneel

Is the way I feel… and I’ll never kneel

​

​

 

​

​

 

 

With my daddy

And my uncle

And all

Those by their sides

All a fightin’

For our freedom

And a fightin’

to provide

A better life…

For you and I….

A better way…

For us today…

​

And the only thing that they’ve ever known

The honor and respect that they have shown

And the thing that they want most eventually

Is to be…. Headed home…

​

There’s somethin’

That you can give

There’s somethin’

That you can get

And the thin’

That they deserve

Is the thin’

We call respect

And there’s one thing you can absolutely bet

They’ll never kneel, never kneel, never kneel

They’ll never kneel, never kneel, never kneel

Never kneel, never kneel, never kneel

Never kneel, never kneel, never kneel

 

So the next time that you see

One of our heroes walkin’ ‘round

Or the flag of our dear country

In the center of your home town

All you gotta do

And it’s a simple place to start

Is take a stand

And place your hand

On the center of your heart…

… and never kneel….
