Remember me as you walk away
For you I lived and died this day
and in this moment I can recall
That as I fell I still stood tall

Into the falling night I cry
tell them I love them and tell them why
I'll not be there to see them grow
Or curb the wild oats they'll sow

I am the one with arms held wide
Even in death not stepping aside
For God and country I am here
Your pain I hold
I feel your fear

Freedom is my gift to you
And as I left
This price I knew

I am turning cold
I am so afraid
and as the fear begins to fade
I'll think of those to follow me
who will give their lives for liberty

As I begin to feel deaths embrace
I pray for strength and a little grace
Let me die as I have lived
Leaving nothing to forgive

My eyes are heavy
Now let me rest
For I know now
I have done my best
