Tell My Father

Tell My Father
Tell my father that his son didn't run or surrender
That I bore his name with pride as I tried to remember
You are judged by what you do, while passing through

As I rest 'neath fields of green, let him lean on your shoulder
Tell him how I spent my youth, so the truth could grow older
Tell my father when you can, I was a man
Tell him we will meet again
Where the angels learn to fly
Tell him we will meet as men
For with honor did I die
Tell him how I wore the blue,
Proud and true through the fire
Tell my father so he'll know, I love him so
Tell him how we wore the blue,
Proud and true like he taught us
Tell my father not to cry
Then say goodbye
