Tribute to all those young men and women who have died fighting for a cause
By: Audrey Barber
You gave up the bosom of your home
Gave up the love of family
Not knowing when you'll see them again
Most of all you gave up your beautiful youth
Brave hearts you are
Yes you all are
To go fight a war that is not yours
The brave hearts you are
You stepped on battle fields
On mines, implanted in the ground
Not knowing when they will explode
Brave hearts you are
Yes you all are
You saw the worst, and carried it too
And fought like true soldiers
The trauma you go through
No one can help,
Brave hearts you are
Yes you all are
But still you go on forward
Fighting like Trojans
Fighting for justice
Fighting for peace
Brave hearts you are
Yes you all are
But then you can fight no longer
Get caught in that cross road
Where you seek the comfort of your mothers
The luxury of family
Most of all you know
Your youth has passed you by
Fighting a war that is not yours
Brave hearts you are
Yes you all are
With every passing day
Bringing depression, a sense of loneliness
This war will not be over
You know that,
It is not your battle
It will only take you away
Brave hearts you are
Yes you all are
You have laid down your life
For a war which was never yours
What must pass your mind that final hour
Those bullets did it pierce your heart
Or was it a land mine that took you away
Brave heart you are
Yes you all are
They bring your casket
To your family
With colors and stripes presented
What comfort can that bring them?
For they have lost you forever
To a war that was never yours
Their precious children, taken in their youth
The sorrow, the agony only a mother can know
Brave hearts you are
Yes you all are
May flower's bloom upon your graves
May their fragrance blow around the world
Letting everyone know, there were children like you
Who gave up their youth, their innocence?
To fight for justice
Fight for peace
And we lost them
Fighting a war that was never theirs
Brave hearts you are
Yes you all are
Mine cries out to you brave hearts of ours
You will be living in paradise
Enjoying your youth,
Together with each other
Where angels serenade you
Cherubim's applaud you
Brave, strong hearts of ours

Bravery
