--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.
