Philosophy Resurrected - 30 May 1868 (Memorial Day) Lyrics

In a town where hills embrace the sky
We gather 'neath the sun not a cloud in sight
Flags unfurling colors bright
Memorial Day a day of pride
For every hero who stood tall
Their courage echoing through it all
From fields of battle they heard the call
Their legacy we'll never let fall
Marching on through the years we go
Remembering the fallen hearts aglow
On this day we raise our voice
In honor of those who made the choice
"Lest we forget" the voices cry
In echoes of valor reaching the sky
Their names etched in stone forever told
Through history's chapters brave and bold
Mrs Thompson with flowers in hand
A widow's love for her fallen man
Vietnam's shadow a distant land
Yet his spirit lingers hand in hand
Tommy returns a Marine so proud
Carrying on amidst the crowd
Side by side they stand unbowed
In their hearts the memories loud
Marching on through the years we go
Remembering the fallen hearts aglow
On this day we raise our voice
In honor of those who made the choice
"Lest we forget" the voices cry
In echoes of valor reaching the sky
Their names etched in stone forever told
Through history's chapters brave and bold
Na na na na na ne na na na na na na na na na naaa
Through the ages our nation's tears
Freedom's price through the years
For every hero our gratitude clears
Their courage through time it steers
May thirty eighteen sixty-eight
The first Memorial Day we commemorate
A nation mourns but stands straight
For those who met their final fate
Marching on through the years we go
Remembering the fallen hearts aglow
On this day we raise our voice
In honor of those who made the choice
In the quiet of our town's embrace
Memorial Day a sacred space
Their names etched in our embrace
Forever honored in our grace
