Verse 1

In the silence of the meadow where valor proudly sleeps

There rests an unknown soldier somewhere beneath my feet.

The spirit of our father shall always live in me

Their forfeiture of life set this country free.

Verse 2

Their cause so brave and noble, no fear to take a stand

They knew the price to be paid to save the promised land.

This is my native homeland, I will fight to keep her free,

If she comes a calling, America can count on me.

Chorus

How beautiful my patriot dream to honor my country’s calling,

How ugly the battle cry to see my brothers falling.

Verse 3

The prayers of brave and frightened souls cry out in liberating strife,

Thanking God for His mercy in sparing them their life.

How fortunate this battle won to salute the proud and brave,

I look upon fallen loved ones as I rest them in their grave.

Verse 4

In the silence of the battle where my heart proudly weeps

There rests an unknown soldier somewhere beneath my feet.

Back in my native homeland they may never understand

The price a soldier has to pay to save the promised land.
