Lyrics

She was finger painting at her school when a note came to her class Her dad had come to pick her up and they had to get home fast At 31 he didn’t know just how to tell his little girl That her mom had died on the battlefield the night before Same day a little town in southern Oregon Myrtle Creek learned it lost another son And as the town gathered together at the church of christ They remembered a preacher who gave his life And the rest of us just go on with our lives We may never know how those families all must sacrifice To the mothers, to the brothers, to the sisters, to the friends, To the fathers, and to all who’ve given so much to this land Our fallen heros to all of them we honor And to the ones left behind may they never be forgotten We don’t always know just why our soldiers are sent to war But they always stand ready to do their duty when they’re told And while the politicians argue over what they’re fighting for Their families stand behind them no matter where they go So lets keep them in our thoughts and prayers No matter where they are And if one must fall lets not forget to hold them in our hearts To the mothers, to the brothers, to the sisters, to the friends, To the fathers, and to all who’ve given so much to this land Our fallen heros to all of them we honor And to the ones left behind may they never be forgotten While we pray for wealth and happiness Others prey to God for one last chance To see their loved ones one more time But only God knows when we leave this world behind And He brings His children home To the mothers, to the brothers, to the sisters, to the friends, To the wife and 3 kids who’ve given so much to this land Our fallen heros to all of them we honor And to the ones left behind may they never be forgotten And to the families left behind may they never be forgotten!
