Our hearts are filled with so many memories Of our soldiers heading across the seas We take a photo and give a token And pray their spirit will never be broken They carry for us Freedom’s glorious flame Each one a hero written in their name God Speed – We love you and a smiling face Is the last that we give as they head for war’s place The flame of youth still strong in their eyes How many will live to be old and wise?
