The annals tell that Freedom rang Our patriot dead ensured that flame On distant shore, we stand again When freedom’s challenged, we defend
Your sacrifice, in Freedom’s name Belies your love of our great flame Our love for your burns just as bright Champion that carries on this fight
We wish you back on Mercury’s wings God Speed and safety this we sing. And when, at last, you journey home To Hero’s welcome warm you’ll come.
Be safe, be true to Freedom’s call Our love is with you, through it all. |
