Troops In the Sky

When it’s time for me to go into the ground I don’t want you to make a weeping sound I have lived my life alive and free Protecting this land, our country If you could grant me this last request I will happily lay at rest There were many men before me That gave their life for this country I am with them now don’t you know The troops are reunited in heavens glow They have welcomed me with open arms Men from the city and men from the farms To my family I wish you well Please do not dwell This is my path that I must travel I don’t want you to unravel Raise our children the best you can I will be waiting for you with open hands So go to sleep now and do not cry I already heard you say goodbye I know you will miss me now and then I will check on you to see how you’ve been God protects us till it’s time to say goodbye Because of his troops in the sky Duane A.
