Description
A tribute to those who served our country and have forgotten or been forgotten. The first verse is based on a true account - I saw it happen beside me on a Fourth of July. The bridge is something we all see around us - and it's tragic!!
Lyrics
I was standing in a chapel on the Fourth of July By the dearest couple I’ve ever seen, After we had pledged allegiance, the preacher said, “Keep standing, If you served your country here or overseas” From the corner of my eye, I saw that old man start to sit down But his wife reached out and took him by the hand She reminded him again that he had fought in the Pacific Then she held him close and said these words to him CHORUS What you can’t remember I won’t forget You are a hero I’m in your debt You fought for my freedom Defied every threat What you can’t remember I won’t forget BRIDGE As he stood there taking in the applause I thought about so many who’ve been lost to the cause You see them in the streets Still trying to find their way home They survived the war But the war claimed their souls It’s our duty as Americans To rise and let them know CHORUS We will remember What they can’t forget They are our heroes We’re in their debt They fought for our freedom Defied every threat We will remember What they can’t forget They fought for our freedom Defied every threat We will remember We won’t forget
