Verse 1]
The sun is rising o'er the meadow
As I walk through hallowed ground
Trees have grown, casting shadows
While a lark sings a pleasing sound
[Verse 2]
Much greener grass than I remember
Pastures lush, where wounds have healed
Wildflowers grow display their splendor
But this for me is soldier's field
[Chorus]
If the soil one day reveals
The mystery concealed
Of a hundred years ago
Still the seed shall grow
For the young men of all nations
When to soldier's field they go
[Verse 3]
I walk alone here night and day
I stand beside you as you grieve
My soul can find no place to lay
Except upon this soldier's field
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
If the soil one day reveals
The mystery concealed
Of a hundred years ago
Still the seed shall grow
For the young men of all nations
When to soldier's field they go
[Outro]
I am that whisper on the breeze
And the rustling of the leaves
So here's to those who plant the seeds
Here we lie
On soldier's field
