SOMEDAY
by Eunice Jones Autry
Someday this world will understand
Just what we fought for man to man
These men that lie here, all now rest in glory
It is time for us now to tell their true story
When the enemy came to invade our homeland
They all had to fight, they all took a stand
Defending a cause that was both just and right
To protect their families, they fought with all their might
We all must remember the truths they held dear
Remember the reason, that they gave their life here
We must never forget them, and the price that they paid
How the scales of justice, today is not weighed
In honor we come here, to praise them with pride
They gave all that they had, they had truth on their side
Someday when we meet them, in our home in the sky
How many can greet them, and look them in the eye
That their honor and glory remains still unstained
How in pride throughout life, our devotion will remain
