A Dream, A Goal, A Warning
Days are long
Yet we move on
For one common goal
We unite as one
Recruits from across the nation
We are just a fraction
Not all will pass the test
So, do your best
Only a few make it
Not all will claim it
None can take it
To be a hero…
To become a marine
That is the goal
This civilian has told
There is no “I” in team
As one we can all succeed
If we fail to see
A team we salnt be
If a recruit is Selfish
Then they will fall
That recruit didn’t fail
no,
we failed them
Please don’t forget
You can’t go back
We will be a team
No longer individuals
Just waiting for the day
That one day….
