Inspired by the heroically storied Navy motto “Don’t Give Up The Ship”—the last dying command uttered by American Naval Officer James Lawrence to his men fighting in the War of 1812, and the words now sewn into a flag that flies aboard every ship in the US Fleet.

"Don't Give Up The Ship"
This ones for the restless out at sea
On the night watch in the ocean or deep beneath
This ones for the bold, and their need for speed
Cutting through the clouds diving down on the enemy
We won't give up the ship
This ones for the zealous clung to the creed
Whose fight never dies and will never flees
This ones for the brave defending the free
And the devil dogs bringing in the artillery
We Won't give up the ship
This ones for the families of the fallen who are holding onto every little thing they can
For the kids with a calling beating in their hearts they don't yet understand
We Won't give up the ship
