And thousands bore the scar of bloody

The fate of conquering dreams and
selfish greed.

Yet, the enemy recognized it with
a grin,
l saw the babe, innocent as could be,
Go down a victim to this gang of
men.
l saw the towns of desolated France,
Fruit trees destroyed in anger and
in hate,
l saw this picture as IN trance,
And others that my lips dars not

I see and know with pain the reason
why,
We're called to make the noble
sacrifice,
And dry our tears and stiAe every

Whate'er it takes to pay the noble
price.
Why we must fight, suffer and en-

For victory, nor stop to count the
cost,
Until our Liberty is made secure,
And Democracy shall never more be

Where lives were lost to check that

With courage then we struck as best

After while, God willing, I'll return,
We sacrifice today that through the

Today we labor and tomorrow rest,
We stand and fight backed by your

For all Humanity, true and blessed.
We battle for the Motherhood of

For Liberty, for Honor and for

So be proud that you gave birth,
To one who lived to enter such a

Be glad you offered one in this great

To help the weak ones in their lone

And bring about again a peaceful
