That Arlington Grave

There he lays
In that Arlington grave
For he was one
Of those, that truely gave

 

He gave his all
Right up to the end
Fighting for freedom
Beside his fellow men

 

He's one of so many
That truely gave it all
Never knowing when
His time should come to call

 

He lays right there
In a peaceful rest
With so many medals
penned there on his chest

 

Someday he'll rise
Come Judgement day
Then He'll be no more
Beneath the soil and clay

 

He won't have to tell
All that he's done
How he fought in a war
And died from a gun

 

With just a white cross
Marking his graves space
Waiting for the day
He'll see our saviors face

 

There are too many
lying there in that land
All waiting for the day
They feel Gods mighty hand
