Fond Farewell, a Tribute To Our Fallen Heroes

When our flag is torn and burned I yearn For an America I once knew. When our patriots fall I hear the call Of cold blood red, white and blue. And hearing the talk from those that mock The beauty of our beliefs, I’m reminded that freedom’s price Isn’t always pure, sweet peace. As the eagle dares in places where Some will never see; Higher ground where love is found America aims to be. God bless all those who gave their all That others might remain, In liberty’s light through day and night They did not go down in vain. Sail on, sail on, Sail onward homeward bound… Making this world a better place, True freedom you have found. Though human thoughts and words cannot Apprehend all your good treasures, Laying down your life for friends Goes beyond all human measure. Sail on, sail on, Sail onward homeward bound… God bless you all who gave your all That we living might sleep sound. All you noble warriors And lovers of democratic dreams: Salutations, admiration, Laurels of inestimable esteem. From now on through eternity To thrones of noble realms; We give thanks for all your selflessness And bid you fond farewell.
