Unknown Soldier's Role of Honor
"TO ALL, and to those whom may be among the numbers of 'The Unknown' that my belated brother Kimo [August 26, 1969] may have known," ... by The Poet
(Lyrics attuned: "When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder")
1 When the drumbeat of your heart pound's not and time stops evermore,
And the mourns that aches a journal writes declare,
When the brave of Earth shall gather over on a listless shore,
And the role of honor list, you'll all be there.
Refrain:
When the role lists all an honor,
When the role lists all an honor,
When the role lists all an honor,
And the role of honor list, you'll all be there.
2 When your sins are long forgotten God's forgiveness dried your cries,
And the story of His goodness blesseth share;
All His soldiers kept on marching Heaven's Gate open to eyes,
And the role of honor list, you'll all be there. [Refrain]
3 You kept us safe, your loved ones who prayed, you're all be coming home,
Faithful hold unto hope and God's loving care,
Faith in God, honored country, and the loved ones, from us, The Known,
As the role of honored list, we'll all be there. [Refrain]
