Beyond Memorial Day
In Honor of Those Who Died for Our Country.
Beyond the picnics and cookouts,
Beyond the screams and shouts,
Beyond the red, white and blue dishes,
Beyond the Memorial Day wishes,
Beyond the colorful parades,
Beyond the well tended graves,
Beyond the military who died over the years,
Remember them all, beyond all our tears.
Beyond the screams and shouts,
Beyond the red, white and blue dishes,
Beyond the Memorial Day wishes,
Beyond the colorful parades,
Beyond the well tended graves,
Beyond the military who died over the years,
Remember them all, beyond all our tears.
