Veterans
Words and music by Tod Howarth copyright 2007-2010
I would like to take this time to thank you,
If only in the best way that I know,
And if there is a problem in translation,
Listen to the melody and where it goes…
Forever in my heart, you remain,
Forever with a scar, but never shame
Forever in my heart…
You could never tell me you don’t matter,
Even though I don’t know all your names,
It’s about the lives that have been given,
And not about the reason or the blame,
Forever in my heart, you remain,
Forever with a scar, but never shame
Forever in our hearts
Emotion escapes you,
But not the virtue,
Of who you are today, in so many ways you’ve paid…
And what’ been taken,
Is not forsaken,
I thank you all my friends,
I thank you once again…
Forever in my heart
Forever in my heart
Forever in my heart
