Speak the Names, Raised on Brass Shields
The Young and Old, laying in Red Fields.
Speak the Names, Carved into Stone
Of All those who, Nev-er came Home.
Speak the Names, When the Sun shines Bright
The Ones who won, Your Prize, With Fight…
Speak the Names, when the Moon is a glow
The ones Lost and Gone, to Where? Only God might know.
Speak the Names, the Ones you’ve not met
From when Independence, Was just a bet…
Speak the Names, The Ones in the Sea,
Who went Down Down Down, so Sigh-lent-ly .
Speak the Names, that Landed on a Beach,
And Found out Firsthand, Sometimes you can’t just Preach.
Speak the Names, The Ones Overhead,
Who must fly forever, while We all sleep In this Bed…
.
.
.
Speak the Names, it’s the LEAST You can Do,
Names now Long Gone…
To Give a Gift to You.
