A Nation Divided

A nation divided, it’s people torn 
 Mothers and widows grieve and mourn 
It doesn’t matter if they wore blue or gray 
 They were sons and husbands on that battlefield today 
 It’s not who lost or won 
We must unite our nation and make it again one 
All here who fought and died today 
 Will always be heroes not just for today
