To Touch a Fallen Comrade

To touch a fallen comrade and find his life line strong Will form a lasting bond that lingers on and on You’ll find your heart is beating as if it’s lost in song To touch a fallen comrade and find his life line strong But To touch a fallen comrade and find his life is gone To be there as he passes into the great beyond You’ll find your heart is beating but something feels all wrong To touch a fallen comrade and find his life is gone So Let’s say a prayer for soldiers so they can all hold on And maybe prayers will help them when everything goes wrong You’ll find your heart is beating and keeping spirits strong Let’s say a prayer for soldiers before they all are gone Let us all now bow our heads Or go down on bended knee And pray our Lord will grant us This soldier’s fervent plea Lord, keep your eye on soldiers Wherever they might be Fighting for their country Setting people free Guide their hands and hearts Lord So they can follow thee Lord, touch these fallen comrades And give them heaven’s key Keep your eyes on soldiers Wherever they might be mdailey - This is my tribute to the troops as we go into Memorial Weekend.
