THROUGH THE ASHES

Thru the darkness and the ash,
I feel their spirits soar.
Hundreds by hundreds coming,
followed by even more.

Open up the gates Lord.
Open them up wide.
The Americans are coming, Lord,
marching side by side.
There are mothers and there's fathers
There are daughters and there's sons.
They had so much left to do Lord.
Before their lives were done.

Open up the gates, Lord
Open them up wide.
The Americans are coming, Lord,
marching side by side.
Oh Lord, there are so many
that are coming thru the gate.
It was not their time, Lord.
They're here because of hate.
Open up the gates Lord
Open them up wide.
The Americans are coming, Lord,
marching side by side.

They come from out of the fire
and the ashes and the dark.
They're marching to the Light, Lord
On the earth they've made their mark.
So, Open up the gates Lord
Open them up wide.
The Americans are coming, Lord,
marching side by side.

I take no credit for the
beautiful wording and
combining the graphics to the words

my only contribution was to
match it to a background, that's it
I just had to add this
to my tribute pages
