War is a terrible thing to see
But we have to fight for our liberty
When people try to take away our right
and we resist then it’s time to fight
Our children lay down their young lives
To see that our freedom still survives
No greater love has anyone gave
As they march for freedom, some to their grave
We love you my soldiers, this debt we can never repay
Our entire country honors you, may God protect you we pray
Yes, God in his wisdom has taken some of you home
To find peace and tranquility under his dome
For our flag and our freedom you have laid down your life
To stop all the terror and to stop all the strife
You my soldiers have fought and paid your dues
Our freedom is intact because of people like you
Remember, God makes no mistakes my friend
He’s walking with our soldiers right to the end
Lord let the ones we have lost rest in peace
For they are with God, may whose love never cease
