Operation Song: West Point to Arlington

Drivin' home form work today
Tears rollin' down my face
Couldn’t help but stop and pray, for your family
Wasn’t but just last May
You told me about your fiancé
And how proud you were of that green beret
And goin' over seas
You knew you were headin' into hell
But you had a job that was bigger than yourself
Now I’m tryin' to live life
Worthy of your sacrifice
To be the husband and the father
You never got to be
And now your work is done
Your course on earth is run
It can’t be saved, well done
Be thou at peace
Be thou at peace
I wanna stay strong
But with you and all the others gone
It’s hard to keep movin' on
I wish I could take your place
I’m forever in your debt
'Cause of the bar you set
I know I haven’t hit it yet
But I hope I will someday
Every time I’m feeling weak
I pray and I feel you liftin' me
Now I’m tryin' to live life
Worthy of your sacrifice
To be the husband and the father
You never got to be
And now your work is done
Your course on earth is run
It can’t be saved, well done
Be thou at peace
Be thou at peace
And now your work is done
Your course on earth is run
From West Point to Arlington
From West Point to Arlington
Be thou at peace
Be thou at peace
