LEST WE FORGET

   Lest We Forget, the flag is a reminder of freedom.
   Innocent blood has stained the thread.
   The battle was fought with great wisdom.
   Soldiers lives paying the cost, wounds openly bled.

   Lest We Forget, Hearing the national anthem song playing
   Our hearts must always be filled with our country's pride.
   A honorable soldier's coffin is seen, Stars and Stripes, draping.
   Dying in the war, he is taking his very last ride.

   Lest We Forget, Many brave soldiers gave their lives for our future.
   For the cause of freedom for our country.
   With great courage they offered their lives for America's nurture.
   Withstanding the torturous battle for our nation to be set free.

   Lest We Forget, the flag is a reminder of freedom.
   Innocent blood has stained the thread.
   The battle was fought with great wisdom.
   Soldiers lives paying the cost, wounds openly bled.
