Story behind the song
Every time I see our troops interviewed in the news their dedication and courage amaze me. This song came as an idea in the middle of the night. Writing it out was inspired by our troops and their conduct over in Iraq.
Lyrics
A mother sits in silent prayer A folded flag is lying there She hopes that time will dim the taste of tears Can a heart-shaped medal ever say What he sacrificed that day Of fill the void in the coming years CHORUS And the eagle cries Where a young man lies Another son of freedom’s laid to rest Though the cost is dear To keep our freedoms here Those who love this land give their best Another soldier dies And the eagle cries V.2 A husband stands in a borrowed suit He doesn’t hear the guns salute His heart is filled with grief he can’t ignore But he doesn’t think about it twice That they paid the highest price He bravely thinks of those who’ve gone before CHORUS 2 And the eagle cries Where the woman lies Cause a daughter of our freedom’s laid to rest Though the cost is dear To keep our freedoms here Those who love this land all give their best Another soldier dies And the eagle cries BRIDGE We owe them so much for what they’ve done Remember for ev’ry daughter and each son FINAL CHORUS That the eagle cries Where that brave one lies Cause a keeper of our freedom’s laid to rest Though the cost is great To keep our nation safe Those who love this land will give their best Knowing … when ev’ry soldier dies That the eagle cries Copyright © 2004 by Wes Marlin - All rights reserved.
