On Memorial Day, we pause to pay

Tribute to the brave, who gave their way

In military service, they stood tall and true

Their bravery in war, a debt we’ll always renew

With hearts full of love, they marched into the fray

Their courage unwavering, come what may

Through blood and tears, they fought for our rights

Their sacrifice, a beacon that shines through the night

Their memories we hold, like precious stones

A reminder of the price they’ve made their own

The war’s bitter toll, the scars they bear

But even in death, their love remains fair

We honor their memory, with every tear

And vow to never forget, their sacrifice so dear

For those who served, who gave their all

We’ll remember you, standing tall

So let us raise our flags, and sing our song

In gratitude and pride, we’ll sing all day long

For those who wore the uniform, with hearts so bold

Their bravery in war, a story to be told

On Memorial Day, we’ll gather ’round

To pay our respects, to those who’ve gone down

In military service, they gave their best

Their love for country, a sacrifice we’ll never forget.
