WE WILL REMEMBER, WE WILL NEVER FORGET

There were those long before us

             They were the ones who forged the path 

   They didn't always ask or question

             They understood the meaning of the task

       Some nights were filled with thunder 

     And many days were filled with pain

        Yet they planted their fields with crops

      And then Knelled and prayed for rain

   Such was the life of the Every man

And so it was with his family too

   They made the world into a garden

            And like a cobbler they made their shoes

  Many traveled across the universe 

To foreign and distant lands        

     And they found there was a kinship 

  Amongst the foundation of a man 

    A man's world is the one he travels 

    But he never really leaves his home

    It's more than pride or possessions 

It's his kingdom, it's his throne   

    He will fight to preserve its essence 

It's his family, it's his shrine        

It's far more than just a memory 

   It's perhaps the calling of our time  

They sacrificed without question   

For they knew what they believed 

                   There will always be a righteous path to follow  

If you open your eyes to see         

 And so for all of those who traveled

And still sacrificed and fought        

     I can only offer you my gracious hand 

                And to remind you, you're still in our thoughts 

I pray you found the blissful nights 

      As you stood and felt the ocean breeze  

So today I will stand and salute you 

Under your old oak tree                  

WE WILL REMEMBER, WE WILL NEVER FORGET
