Weep grieving mothers for babies infant cries
alone on the battlefield a brave soldier dies
Clutch each sacred memory near bruised broken heart
speak each one as history to generations apart
Reap the harvest bittersweet - sweat ripened, blood bought
sown in willing sacrifice - selfless, violent fought
Leap joyous citizens! Cry out! Shout! Proclaim!
lest freedom ring on tone deaf ears - to our ignorance and shame
Sleep oh nation under God in whom claim we to trust
your lot take not for granted for fear it turn to dust
