ARLINGTON
I knew for sure
t'was hallowed ground
that we were standing on
where now lay these soldiers
in eternal rest
that died for peace and home
The crosse's here, lined row on row
as far as eye can see
to think you went and gave your life
that we could all stay free
Oh, brave soldiers of America
you were so strong and true
and bright corillion bells ring out your praise
when every day is through
A national cememtey, now your home
a place of quiet rest
for pain and love bind each one here
and we know you've all been blessed
May God keep you safely in His arms
till we meet again on heavens shore
may you be happy there at home
and may you hurt no more
Here hero's have been laid to rest
in this old sacred ground
and the sound of taps and marching feet
is heard
as the centuries make their round
I'll ner forget you, friend of mine
on the day you went away
proudly dressed in Army tan
for orders you would obey
and oh, my friend, you did come home
and you haven't really died
though you came home draped in our flag
wrapped up in your countries pride
Now, we'll keep old glory flying high
the good old stars and bars
we salute you
so let's keep our loved ones in our hearts
tho they fly among the stars
