Tara Oram - The Call

卜超 制作

Well this is the story

Of a young man who answered the call

To fight fear and terror

In a world where it touches us all

Well he fought with pride

And he gave up his life

He left behind two little kids and a wife

So the next time you sing these words

Keep him in mind

Oh we stand on guard for thee

They’re not just the words that they say

They’re words that the mean

So tonight when you pray on your knees

Say a prayer for the sons and the daughters

Of the free

Well sometimes in this world

We forget how we get what we’ve got

And all the blood spent on freedom

To some folk is quickly forgot

Oh they’d rather talk until nothing gets done

But sometimes you gotta fight for rights to be won

Thank God for the special few who can get the job done

Oh we stand on guard for thee

They’re not just the words that they say

They’re words that the mean

So tonight when you pray on your knees

Say a prayer for the sons and the daughters

Of the free

Well now take off your hat

And put your hand on your heart

Don’t take your eyes off the flag

And the next time you sing these beautiful words

Think of the ultimate price

That my friend paid

Oh we stand on guard for thee

They’re not just the words that they say

They’re words that the mean

So tonight when you pray on your knees

Say a prayer for the sons and the daughters

Of the free

Give a hug to the sisters and the brothers

Give your love to the fathers and mothers

Say a prayer for the sons and the daughters

Of the free

Well this is the story of a good man who answered the call
