They Died for Our Country

His comrades are gone and he’ll never forget
They died for his country, they died for his freedom
He stands at the sight were they are remembered
His hands on their names, tears on his face
they are there in spirit and grace
he cannot see them but he knows they are there

They died for our country
They died for our freedom
Let none of us forget what happened that day
They are our heros and forever they’ll be

Someone lost a family member that day
Now that name is engrave in stone
people come from all over
to see the names of people they never know
to pay respect to those who died for their land

They died for our country
They died for our freedom
Let none of us forget what happened that day
They are our heros and forever they’ll be

D-day is something few will forget
so many died on the shores
and suffered to save a land not of their own
the bravery felt and honor they held
will never be forgotten by those they saved
the dignity that they showed for us and the pride
they had doing what they felt was right

They died for our country
They died for our freedom
Let none of us forget what happened that day
They are our heros and forever they’ll be
