Because of their service – v3

Because of their service
carrying their cross
their burden
choosing to serve
paying an awful cost

The pain of their scars
sometimes hidden
of what they have seen
some going to the grave
that we may truly live

Because of their service
we have freedom
we are a nation of opportunity
not held by the yoke
of foreign oppression
