  All The People Cried, Today
 Click on button to play music.

Word came among us,
In this wonderful Country, the USA,
That some of our men were killed
In an accident, today.

But, they would not have been
Had not it been for a coward in a cave.
This wonderful Marine's family
Would not have had to bury him in a grave.

When we heard of these men,
We knew not what we could say.
But, all the people of America
Paused and cried, today ...

For the marines, sailors, and all
The service men to go the way
Of the places they need to go,
To keep the people safe in the USA.

Our hearts go out to all the families
Of a missing son, their soldier boy,
'Cause we miss him too, even though
we never saw his face of joy ...

When running and playing as a child,
Or somber faced as a man on his way
To join up and help fight the enemy,
For our protection in the evils of the day.

Many go and win the wars of America
And come back home, again.
These are the valiant heroes of America,
Down to every single man.

They take the chance to go and die for us.
We need to lean their way;
Give them comfort in all things,
So the people wont have to cry, today.

I know the good Lord took them home.
Their soul is with God, now.
They did their duty, here on earth,
And won the crown of Glory, somehow ...

With the Father watching their every move.
He must have needed them some way.
But for the ardor of love we feel and sadness of our loss,
All the people cried, today.
