THE COST

He paid the price with his life...
The cost was great the price was high.
He came home in a casket of oak...

His spirit remained but his body grew old,
His brother had died saving his life...

It's his body there in the grave tonight,
The cost was great the price was high...

The vet remained while his brother died...
It doesn't matter if the price is small...
All gave some, some gave all...

All we know is that there is a cost,
A cost for freedom, and the cost...

Is life!
