By Martin Jonquiere
--Mount Vernon, WA
They came
From their homes, down they came
Selfless, from all ‘round
All ‘round, all the same
They went
Without doubt, up they went
Heroes, the righteous
Righteous, heaven sent
We bring
We come in and we bring
Faces, all over
All over, hopes cling
We weep
We walk out and we weep
Oceans, ‘round the world
‘Round the world, so deep
We hear
In their homes, now we hear
Voices, soft calling
Soft calling, so near.
