Where Have All The Young Men Gone

Where are all the young men Gone,
 Seems to echo in the lyrics of a song.
We know unfortunately where they have gone,
And it still goes on.
We’ve witnessed many milestones in our lifetime, 
We had moments of joy and those of tears
We’ve had great men to admire 
Who held this nation safe and strong, 
We proudly follow their example as we carried on.
To take these precious words written in parchment so long ago, 
Words that are the beliefs and truths we all try to follow.
Let’s take those words now and proclaim who we really are. 
Let’s follow our dreams and Soar like a mighty eagle above the stars 
To remember those words Written on that parchment so long ago 
Is a promise to all of us and a commitment we must follow
