My Soldier

Each day in life remembered
With love we send a prayer
In Memory of everyone
Whose names we shall revere

We ask the Lord to Bless You
With words in life we share
To let you know that all of us
Offer special prayers

Dear Lord our friends are missing
We don't know where they are
But know that You are watching them
Assigning each a star

A star in life that's glowing
Within the sky so blue
Hoping that they see it
Sent with Love by You

Each of them life's Blessing
That go on with no end
The names of each are written
Within our hearts that blend

And so it is with sadness
With hope in life we share
Love to all our missing
Their hearts the gift we wear.

Some Gave All

I knew a man called him Sandy Kane
Few folks even knew his name
But a hero yes was he
Left a boy came back a man
Still many just don’t understand
About the reasons we are free

I can’t forget the look in his eyes
Or the tears he cried
As he said these words to me

All gave some and some gave all
And some stood through for the red, white and blue
And some had to fall
And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall
Some gave all...

Now Sandy Kane is no longer here
But his words are oh so clear
As they echo throughout our land
For all his friends who gave us all
Who stood the ground and took the fall
To help their fellow man

Love your country and live with pride
And don’t forget those who died
America can’t you see

All gave some and some gave all
And some stood through for the red, white and blue 
And some had to fall
And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall
Some gave all...

And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall, yes recall
Some gave all
Some gave all..
