Remember That Time

Remember the past? When it was hard to last? When people died left and right? And went down with nearly a fight? The ones who stood tall And picked each other back up when they fall The ones who believe in freedom The ones who fought to keep them They kept pushing forward Even when people fell backwards They heard screaming through the night And heard words of fight When the sun nearly rose They had to get back on their toes Only to walk head on into death Everyone had words of distress They would unfold their little blankets to sleep “I hope I get home alive” they weep As ones who struggle to carry on Its their knees they fall upon Crying tears of happiness to hold their loved ones again Only to have their thoughts taken away from them As the fire of guns ring in their head And killed that guys best friend named Fred Sirens of emergency ring Our troops in green Forward march ahead In remembrance of that guy Fred Victory they sing As jolly bells ring Time to go home guys Thanks for letting our flag fly
