GOLD STAR FAMILIES There's too many Gold Star Families Their numbers growing every day Too much to ask those loved ones Such a terrible price they pay. All will say they are very proud That their loved one knew the cost That in the horrors of Wartime Precious lives are sometimes lost. But the death of a brave Hero In the Service of this Land Dying for some other country Is oft times, hard to understand. "In the name of Freedom!" "For the good of fellow man!" "To put an end to oppression!" Or, sometimes some other plan! There have always been those Souls Who will rally to the battle's call Who will bear those deadly arms Who will march and sometimes fall. Some will just bear the wounds Though, not always clear to see Some will never return the same As the people, they used to be. But the ones who have that void Of that hole in heart and mind They are the greatest Heroes That we can ever hope to find. Maybe one day in our future Peace will be the way we'll live But until then we'll have those Who give all they have to give. Gold Star Families stand in front And shed their tears of loss and pain And as long as Man goes to War We'll see them time and time, again.
