White Marble At Attention
It started with a field
Before the wars came
Now white marble stands at attention
This field would never be the same again
Rows of lost warriors
Soldiers of our modern day
Who bravely fought for our freedom
The ultimate they would pay
Below these white marble stones
Lie the kin of you and me
Who enlist to fight and serve
And die for their country
They fell in many conflicts
Scattered throughout our world
One day they laugh and cry
And tomorrow, they are never heard
We are never far away
To a lost one who has died
To fight our wars or others
Worldwide
