I Hear Bagpipes Cryin



Stumbled across an old green box in my Granddaddy's house

Inside was a cross, some old dog tags

And a picture of when he was shipping out.

So I showed it to him, said

Tell me about those days

When he looked inside

He closed his eyes

All he could say was



I hear bagpipes crying Amazing Grace

Omaha Beach and her crashing waves

Old Glory draped like Heaven's mercy over the fallen sons

I see all the heroes who were willing to fight

In the name of freedom layin' down their lives

And praying God's grace would keep us safe from harm

Until they brought us boys back home



Those words to a boy that became a man

Now I'm ankle deep in this Persian sand

And every day I'm giving all I can

Because I'm damn proud to be American

Yeah, I made some friends, and I've lost some too

When I think about what they gave for me and you



I hear bagpipes crying Amazing Grace

Tears rolling down a mother's face

Old Glory draped like Heaven's mercy over the fallen sons

I see all the heroes who are willing to fight

In the name of freedom layin' down their lives

And praying God's grace would keep us safe from harm

Until they bring us boys back home



I hear bagpipes crying Amazing Grace

Tears rolling down a mother's face

Old Glory draped like Heaven's mercy over the fallen sons

I see all the heroes who are willing to fight

In the name of freedom laying down their lives

And praying God's grace would keep you safe from harm

Until they bring you boys back home

Til they bring you boys back home

Til they bring you boys back home

Gerry,



No argument here.... Thanks for sharing it. It's beautiful...



Being an only son/child, and my mother pre-deceasing him, I recieved the

flag from my father's military burial (U.S. Army, WWII). I have it displayed

in my home office, and I still can't look at it without getting a tear in my eye,

and saying a silent prayer for him and all the other servicepersons.:wub:
