Fallen Comrades

All of them fought
And some of them died
Some came home with wounds
They found were denied
They looked to their leaders
Who turned deaf and blind
Oh, how could we leave
Fallen comrades behind

We sent them to war
Our brightest and best
They answered the call
They passed every test
They should have been heroes
But what did they find
A country that left
Fallen comrades behind

We all know the answer
What’s wrong and what’s right
They fought to defend us
Now, it’s our turn to fight
To uphold their honor
And be faithful and kind
We cannot just leave
Fallen comrades behind
