| The Purple Heart |
There is a time in some men's lives Their country calls in time of war, And asked to heed what they deplore. These gallant men who fight with pride With pain that lives and dies inside. They place their lives in dangers way To face the enemy each day. Some wounds severe with loss of limb While some will heal and try again. To suffer wounds with death at hand To fight a war in many lands. They do their duty and beyond They're swift to act and to respond. They shed their blood, some live, some die To keep Old Glory flying high. Their children cry, their widows weep, The blood that's shed runs very deep. They live with pain for many years And suffer stress that brings the tears. To honor those who played the part We give, with thanks, the Purple Heart. |
