I Mourn You Today With Tears On Your Grave
Still fully I weep with always a cross to bare
Sorrow fills me as I look to your stone and stare
Flowers adorn it colors of red white and blue
Flags on each side and your memory still holds true
Your body is gone but your spirit God will save
I mourn you today with tears on your grave
I look down at the rows of others that have been taken
The mortality of it all leaves me shaken
A sea of grass surrounds there final resting place
I’d give it all up to see your smiling face
Your body is gone but your spirit God will save
I mourn you today with tears on your grave
Trees of oak and pine shade their eternal bed
Animals roam freely upon the sleeping dead
The air is slowing blowing then there is a calming cease
I say a prayer for you and hope you always rest in peace
Your body is gone but your spirit God will save
I mourn you today with tears on your grave
