Hearing their whispers – v4

Even under this bright sky
rousing anthems of the brass bands
Applause of this community
as our veterans marched by

Hearing their whispers
those who died for our freedoms
Their prayers that we would be faithful
to the beliefs we share inside

Knowing they are watching
sensing them here within this congregation
Watching down over us
as they have always done
