So valiantly did he die upon a little hill Of greenest grass and under sweetest air, And he died grinning for his unfailing will, And for what eternal glory met him there- And his courageous heroism will be told In song by each new coming generation Who still sing those fighting songs of old Within our proud and glorious nation- What true sacrifice and supreme nobility Lies in he who serves our shining vision Where everyone else can grow up to be Just like him, perhaps be on television- Because he believed in his bleeding heart What it means to die for where you live, If he had one regret, and was let to restart- It'd be that he hadn't another life to give.

Death of a Soldier
So valiantly did he die upon a little hill Of greenest grass and under sweetest air, And he died grinning for his unfailing will, And for what eternal glory met him there- And his courageous heroism will be told In song by each new coming generation Who still sing those fighting songs of old Within our proud and glorious nation- What true sacrifice and supreme nobility Lies in he who serves our shining vision Where everyone else can grow up to be Just like him, perhaps be on television- Because he believed in his bleeding heart What it means to die for where you live, If he had one regret, and was let to restart- It'd be that he hadn't another life to give.
