Joseph E. Whimple - Fallon Warrior lyrics

Great commander in the sky sheds another tear today one more warrior has been called home leaving the bounds of earthly life his spirit freed from the body to be welcomed by his comrades Living through a war surviving in a faraway land fighting those you are ordered to risking life and limb even your very sanity to make the world safe again Now who cares or cries for you who can speak kindly of your deeds what can be said of you that can ease your loved ones pain how can it be that one so brave can slip so silently into your grave Where are your friends those who cheered when you came marching home the warrior protecting his land is forgotten now that war is won quietly...silently you lived and died alone Do not shed a tear now do not say kind words do not act sad and at a loss do not grieve or mourn do not give false feelings the warrior has gone home
