Lyrics
One We knew
Lee Johnson flew in on the 7:45 he was met by an honor guard
who drove him cross the river to memorial park to the parking lot of St. Johns and wheeled his coffin to the alter, and laid a wreath by the door
Chorus: As I heard people say this great victory, cost us but the lives of a few . Well in our town today we're burying a friend in those lives of a few ,was one we knew
They gave a flag to his widow, and one to is mom and his dad
and some one took a picture of his five year old son, acting like the brave little man
high over head a jet plane flew alone
as the war far off found its way home
CHORUS:
They say no greater love has a man than to lay down his life for his friends, but how many lives and how many times 'til these wars they come to an end
and as we bowed our heads to pray, all the easy answers were so far away
CHORUS:
