Fallen Soldiers

In Case we forget about Memorial Weekend United State Military Song

By OlaoluwaPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Out on the battlefield covered in blood (out on the battlefield covered in blood)

There's an airborne Sapper dying in the mud (there's an airborne sapper dying in the mud)

The enemy came closing in until the soldier fell (the enemy came closing in until the soldier fell)

So, with one final magazine he sent 'em all to hell (so, with one final magazine he sent 'em all to hell)

Fallen soldiers (fallen soldiers)

We stand on your shoulders (we stand on your shoulders)

We carry your legacy (we carry your legacy)

'Cause no one said that freedom's free (cause no one said that freedom's free)

Fallen soldiers (fallen soldiers)

We stand on your shoulders (we stand on your shoulders)

I'll carry your legacy (I'll carry your legacy)

'Til some day they remember me ('til some day they remember me)

Out in a foxhole shaking in his boots (out in a foxhole shaking in his boots)

There's a brand-new private too afraid to shoot (there's a brand-new private too afraid to shoot)

The Soldier to his left jumped on a hand grenade (the soldier to his left jumped on a hand grenade)

And the gruesome price of war he paid (and the gruesome price of war he paid)

Fallen soldiers (fallen soldiers)

We stand on your shoulders (we stand on your shoulders)

We carry your legacy (we carry your legacy)

'Cause no one said that freedom's free ('cause no one said that freedom's free)

Fallen Soldiers (fallen soldiers)

We stand on your shoulders (we stand on your shoulders)

I'll carry your legacy (I'll carry your legacy)

'Til some day they remember me ('til some day they remember me)

Fallen soldiers (fallen soldiers)

We stand on your shoulders (we stand on your shoulders)

We carry your legacy (we carry your legacy)

'Cause no one said that freedom's free ('cause no one said that freedom's free)

Fallen soldiers (fallen soldiers)

We stand on your shoulders (we stand on your shoulders)

We carry your legacy (we carry your legacy)

'Til some day they remember me ('til someday they remember me)
