Unknown Soldier (For Jeffrey)

Thousands of my brothers lay before me

A hallowed ground like ghosts I hear them cry

Young men taking bullets fordstrum blood smoke and fear

As I enter the valley of death and heartache

A river of blood as far as I can see

Angry and confused it's hard to stand and walk the line

Shine on unknown soldiers

They fought and died at Gettysburg and Shiloh

They're still fighting in the town where I was born

Nothing seems to change in this world that we see

Sail on unknown soldier

Only God knows all the unknown soldiers

How did they learn to hold a gun?

Was it just that got the oil to keep the enemy off our shores

Sail on unknown soldier

The tears that fall for innocence around us

The cry for peace is truly never heard

Why can't we see that history tells us

Nothing's ever learned?

Shine on unknown soldiers

Sail on unknown soldiers
