A box of black,
Flowers piled high,
And even from here,
I see the sacrifice.

An American soldier,
Protected us all,
Giving up his life,
So we could be alive.

Freedom may be here,
But it always has a price.

And there,
In that black box,
Was a soldier who lived under red, white, and blue.

He gave us his dream,
He gave us his life.

Freedom we have,
As long as there are those like him.
Willingly giving America their service,
A pride in their eyes.

American soldier,
He gave the highest price.

And no can blame him,
They are proud.
And now they place flowers for him.

Honor him,
Like he did us.

American soldier,
Fought for what is right.

Under God he trusted,
Passing on his love to us.

Freedom has lasted longer now,
All because of him.

And every sacrifice,
Every soldier fought,
Has given us life.
