THE FALLEN – (RISE)

Look at that face… behold that smile.
Beyond the tears… the question’s… “Why”?
Another life… has stepped aside,
To join the ranks… of… “The Fallen“ line.

Where the Finest, Bravest, Strongest
men and women stand…
from across this land.

Where lives are laid… upon the line
As Duty calls… your friend and mine.

Look at that face… behold, this life.
And, believe… beyond… “The Fallen”… line.

The scripture says, in John 15:13,
“Greater love hath no man than this,
that a man lay down his life for his friends.”

Behold… your friend.

Beneath this flag… where Honor… lies,
“The Fallen” stand,
Where… Heroes… rise!

Behold… “My Friend”.
“No Greater Love… has any man,
To lay his life, upon the line…
For a friend… such as, I.

“No greater love has any man.”

Beneath this flag… where Honor… lies,
The fallen stand… as heroes rise
As we behold… “The Fallen”… line!

I Believe, Beyond,

“The Fallen”… RISE!

Author’s Note: In Honor of, and Dedicated to Atlanta Police Officer, Mark Cross

The passing of fallen Atlanta Police Officer, Mark Cross, inspired this song… however, the lyrics could apply to “any” fallen, police, military, firefighter… ANY of those “fallen”… who put their lives on the line, and have paid the ultimate sacrifice… to protect our freedoms and us.
