Kelly, Grade 7 Tribute to the troops
fighting for survival
fighting for their groups
longing for arrival
fighting for survival
for freedom for all
longing for arrival
during the brawl
for freedom for all
finally getting thanks
during the brawl
as their opponents sank |

Kyla, Grade 7 Waving goodbye to their loved ones
they may never see them again
they're hugging their daughters and sons
make sure they write you in pen
they may never see them again
waterfall of tears makes it hard to turn away
make sure they write you in pen
off to a foreign land to fight and to pray
waterfall of tears makes it hard to turn away
these veterans don't ask much in return
off to a foreign land to fight and to pray
America's freedom their only concern
these veterans don't ask much in return
soldiers give more then what they receive
American's freedom their only concern
Old Glory flying half mass, a nation grieves
soldiers give more then what they receive
hugging daughters and sons
Old Glory flying half mass, a nation grieves
waving goodbye to their loved ones |

John, Grade 7 Mothers crying in worry
for the people who protect life
trying to get out in a hurry
waiting at home a loving wife
for the people who protect life
taking risks being brave
waiting at home a loving wife
coffins coming to your grave
taking risks being brave
understanding what matters here
coffins coming to your grave
family waiting at home near and dear
understanding what matters here
finally home what a craze
coffins coming to your grave
standing here in a daze
finally home what a craze
life is peaceful at my home
standing here in a daze
my life like a poem |
