In times of war we turn our eyes
To the heavens up above.
Because we know that we might lose
The young ones that we love.
And so we hold their memories
In our hearts with care.
Knowing that they might not return
From that country over there.
When our children do return
We think of those who lost
And pray for all those families
Who bore that final cost.
For freedom and for us they fought
Until their judgment day.
So thank them for their service
And thank God when you pray.
