Is there someone in your town, who lives just down the way,
And their son has been listed, killed in action --KIA
Have you ever stopped to tell them, how you thought of him today
Did you ever send a letter, maybe visit them to say
I remember your lost love one, in this particular way
You will find your memory sobering, while your heart begins to pray
And, your mind begins to realize, how their pain will always stay
Should we not at least be thoughtful, for their soldier who is gone
Wounded lives in turmoil daily, while our world moves steadily on
So, if your life is filled with roses, and you're thankful to your God
Take a moment to remember, soldiers sleeping 'neath the sod
