I want to walk
Through the white stone fields
In silent reverence

Read the names
Read “unknown”
And remember

Will the stories of the brave
Buried beneath the grass and dirt
Overwhelm me to tears?

I want to walk
Through the white stone fields
In silent reverence

Read the names
Read “unknown”
And remember

May God remind me
Of sacrifices that have been
And are made every day

So that I, so that we
May live in the land
Of the free and the home of the brave

I want to walk
Through the white stone fields
In silent reverence

Read the names
Read “unknown”
And remember
