Memorial Day
Words and music by Mario Tosto (ASCAP)
Do we remember our defenders?
Those who lived and those who died?
Do we remember the why of the Fourth of July?
Chorus
They were willing to bear the pain
And they were willing to be slain
It is to them respect we’re paying on
Memorial Day.
They were like us, they were afraid
But their love of freedom made them
The heroes we parade on
Memorial Day.
Do we know them for their courage ?
Do we know them by their name?s
Do we salute them for the
Love and the lives that they gave?
Sons and daughters, moms and dads
Set aside the hopes they had
Do we remember the price so sad for
Memorial Day?
