"missing In Action" They Claim You To Be
"Missing in Action" they claim you to be
As you fight the war for us to be free.
We have sensed your presence, felt your pain
That you have suffered for our country's name.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We feel you are out there, still alive;
Some of you still alive.
Only God will ever know the tears
You have cried.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You are somebody's father, some mother's son
That's left with just memories And feelings that are numb
Heaven's gates will be open for you
For all the torture you had to go through.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
God rewards His angels with blessings on high
And you're in that number, and you know why.
Our eyes are now dry from shedding of tears
But you can't dry the memories, they last through the years.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You are our hero now gone with the past.
You left us our freedom, it's ours at last.
No matter the cost, whatever we do
A torch will always burn for you.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because of you there's hope for tomorrow
Because of you the sun will shine.
Because of your life there's hope for the future
And there will be PEACE for all mankind.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
