Saving Seventy-Five Men
Saving seventy-five men
Was truly a noble act;
Doing it without firing
A gun brought a huge impact.
Hacksaw Ridge is a story
Of the medic Desmond Doss;
He had played the greatest role
To prevent the death or loss.
Desmond Doss refused to kill
An antagonist soldier;
Because of his personal
Belief in God, the Father.
Desmond Doss suffered a left
Arm fracture from a bullet;
At one point his body had
Shrapnel's pieces he did get.
For his actions in Japan,
An award he was given;
It was conferred to him for
Saving seventy-five men.
