Lyrics:
In the shadows of the morning mist Where a hero’s resting place exists Those waiting feel pain and scorn All from an unwanted knock at the door
Drop to your knees but don’t cry for me A folded flag was meant to be As the bugler plays his song They aren’t forgotten even though they’re gone
Chorus: 21 Guns and a million tears All heard and shed right here The sound of loss, the pain, the cost Freedom’s never free and clear Bagpipes blow in the distance, get ready to see and hear 21 Guns and million tears
There’s an oath that every defender takes A dedication for freedoms sake They’d rather die in an unmarked grave So we can live in the home of the free and brave Chorus-repeat
Bridge They’ve given life and limb Some minds are hard to live in How could we ever turn our backs on them
Chorus: 21 Guns and a million tears All heard and shed right here The sound of loss, the pain, the cost Freedom’s never free and clear Will there come a day when we don’t see or hear 21 Guns and million tears
A.Caruso/ B.Warren, c2019
