Lies beneath a cross of white
He can not see the morning and he does not feel the night
Just a name upon a wooden cross a date an' where he died
I stand within this holy place and wiped my tears inside
You gave up your tomorrow so that we could have today
You knew you had a job to do and you did it your own way
You didn't asked for sympathy or find someone to plain
You just lay down your life and left a cross a date a name
The only real hero gave his life so I'd be free
A hundred thousand crosses but this one means most to me
I stand within this holy place feel all alone and sad
I stand and wipe because you see beneath this cross is dad
You gave up your tomorrow so that we could have today
You knew you had a job to do and you did it your own way
You didn't asked for sympathy or find someone to plain
You just lay down your life and left a cross a date a name
You gave up your tomorrow so that we could have today
You knew you had a job to do and you did it your own way
You didn't asked for sympathy or find someone to plain
You just lay down your life and left a cross a date a name
You just lay down your life and left a cross a date a name
