Carry the Torch

Carry the torch and carry it high Their legacy will never die Continue on, their hopes fulfill The one the enemy tried to kill Carry the torch that they’ve passed on Now their battle has been won Live in freedom in the USA Live in it’s fullest everyday These soldiers did not die in vain For nothing didn’t they suffer the pain You may never join the Navy, or the Army or Guard But it’s for your freedom that our veterans fought hard Though some may have died while the torch being carried Their flame burned out, in a graveyard now buried Let’s carry on their torch and this we must do The next time you see a veteran, let’s tell them “Thank You.”
