Memorial Day
What is the meaning of this day? If you’d like to know
Then the fields of Arlington are where you should go
Stand among those many crosses and humbly look around
At those who gave their lives, and lay in that hallowed ground
White crosses in rows, each one’s a memory
They represent someone who left their friends and family
They bravely fought for others; their dreams were laid to rest
Underneath those many crosses lie our very best
The guard at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier
Could tell you of those whose actions were bolder
The sons of our country who gave their own lives
He is proud to walk there, he understands sacrifice
They fight for our freedom whether you care if they do
And maybe someday they’ll give their own life for you
The veterans can tell you its worth all they’ve lost
No matter the price, no matter the cost
Freedom isn’t free. There’s a price to be paid
I stand behind our country and the choices we’ve made
They protect our freedom, they stand proud, and stand true
To our veterans and soldiers I offer thank you.
