PLAY LOUDLY THE FIFE

Every time a soldier falls
The angels cry
The falling of their tears becomes the rain
The rain that washes the blood from the white crosses
They stand in silent row in tribute
Reminding the living of their sacrifice

If we listen close we can hear them
Loudly exclaiming
God bless my America
God bless my land
Stand and fight my fellow citizens
Do not let liberty die
Play loudly the fife of courage
Beat loudly the drum of determination
March boldly to face the enemy

Let your song of
My Country Tis Of Thee
Be sung so loudly
That the words of those that would speak treason to my sacrifice
Are drowned out by your united voices

Forever let my remembered sacrifice stand
Forever sing
Oh Say Can You See
Forever my memory should be
One Nation Under GOD
