ON THE FIELD OF BATTLE

The battle fields now quiet
It raged the whole day long
Many of our brave men fell
Some died for freedoms song.

Others were flown away
He hears the chopper’s prop
As the last are moved out
‘Thou so tired he could drop.

If it’s a silent night
Perhaps he’ll get some sleep
And maybe even rest
Remaining in God’s keep.

On the field of battle
His mind can never stray
But must be on alert
To survive one more day.

Morning will bring daylight
More fighting he will see
And do the best he can
So all men might be free.
