V-1
Today's the day, we pause to remember
The ones that didn't come home, the ones that paid the price.
So, on this day, a day we honor,
The ones who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
Don't ever forget, where hero's come from
Cities and small towns, a young farm boy's call.
To let freedom ring, they wrote a 'blank check.'
To protect and defend, yet they gave all.
Chorus
Memorial Day, A day of reverence
Flags on the graves, where heroes lay
We'll have parades to remind our children,
What it means when a sacrifice is made
Take some time, say a prayer, Oo This Memorial Day.
V-2
Beneath marble stone, there lies a Veteran,
A friend from Highschool, who took the oath.
A Son, a Daughter, a Brother you once had.
They volunteered to serve, they never came home.
Chorus (2)
Memorial Day, A day of reverence.
Flags in a row on the Arlington graves.
We'll put a wreath, at the tomb of the unknown,
The true meaning of America The brave.
Take some time, visit them, This Memorial Day.
Bow your head, say a prayer, on This Memorial Day.
