Russell G. Robison

REMEMBER

There are those who lay their life down
For what they do believe
The high ones stay too distant
From this truth they can’t perceive

That there are things worth dying for
That call for sacrifice
Our freedom has been purchased
And it came with such a price

Now some are never willing
When it comes to liberty
To stand and hold the line
Because that’s how it has to be

There was a wise man who once said
That death smiles at us all
And those who smile back at him
Even as they take the fall

Do not forget in quiet times
What lofty ones have wrought
But as you sleep in peace tonight
Remember those who fought
