Old soldiers never die

as long as there is one standing

Old soldiers never die

Old soldiers never die
they just slip away,
into the dusty pages
of our yesterday.
-
There among the many
ever more to be,
alive within the heart
of all that would be free.
-
Never more to question
what is right or wrong,
forever in the lyrics
of the hero's song.
-
In the heart of others
they are kept alive,
by the endless spirit
of all who still survive.
-
Old soldiers never die
they just slip away,
into the dusty pages
of another day.
