Concentrated Ground

See that grave

Over there

Yeah that’s the one

He fought for us

So that we

Maybe free.

And that one there

He lost his life

Long ago

Leaving a grieving

Widow and Children

Behind.

There’s a grave over

There too

She fought for

Us too

Brought home

In a flag dropped coffin

As Taps filled the air.

There are countless

Others

Who paid for

Our freedom

With their blood

As we pay

Rememberance

To them.
