“Living On ”
Emotional rollercoaster... really it is,
Leaving me sad and grateful, but never mad.
Young and old, old and new, people many and people few,
Humility and thanks, many express, feeling deep sorrow none the less.
Touched by angels and patriots unknown, their sacrifice not forgotten,
our freedom they've sown.
My heart it breaks, my tears they fall, for many have fallen, their final call.
I hear the bugle, but know not the name, sacrifice of each, the end the same.
Never forgotten, whomever you are, the one's I've known and one's afar.
Most so young, filled with fear, dedicated to country and family dear.
Many have given and some gave all, listen closely, the bugler’s call.
Let us cry, remember and stand,
Raise a glass, live right, enjoy our land.
Because of them, whom most shalln’t know,
we recall their sacrifice and not let go.
