The Unknown Soldier

The Unknown Soldier So many thousands have died So many needless wars Every land in the world has one A man who died Fighting for his country No one will ever know his name How he died Where he took his last breath Still, he is honored Never forgotten He lies in a cold crypt Alone with no family coming to mourn him He rests His soul looking down from Heaven He knows that someone, somewhere loves him Even though they don’t know where he is They mourn for him Even though they do not know that he was a hero He is The Unknown Soldier And, after all these years He is a national hero Someone to be respected and honored Even if no one knows his name
