I heard my friend cry, and he sank to his knees,Coughing blood as he screamed for his mother,
And I fell by his side, and that’s how we died,
Clinging like kids to each other,
And I lay in the mud and the guts and the blood
And I wept as his body grew colder,
And I called for my mother and she never came,
Though it wasn’t my fault and I wasn’t to blame,
The day not half over and ten thousand slain,
Today in 2020 there are those who don’t wish to remember our names.
And that’s how it is for a Soldier.
Remember the sacrifice of a Soldier.
That brought your freedom.
