Lyrics

SEVEN WHITE STARS
By Bart Ambrose


SHE JUMPED WHEN THE SHOTS RANG OUT
SHE KNEW THERE'D BE TWO MORE
THE BUGLE PLAYED TAP'S LONELY SOUND
AND CHILLED HER TO THE CORE
THROUGH TEARS SHE WATCHED THEM FOLD THE FLAG WITH RESPECT AND DIGNITY
TURN AND HAND IT TO HER EACH CREASE MADE SO PERFECTLY SHOWING

SEVEN WHITE STARS
IN A FIELD OF BLUE
FOLDED TO THREE SIDES, SYMBOL OF OUR NATION'S PRIDE
SEVEN WHITE STARS IN A FIELD OF BLUE

NEVER DREAMED SHE'D SEE THIS DAY
OR GO THROUGH THIS AGAIN
HAVE HER SON SHARE HIS FATHER'S FATE
TO MEET A SOLDIER'S END
THEIR HEADSTONES SIDE BY SIDE IN THEIR FINAL RESTING PLACE
AN HONOR GUARD SALUTE, ANOTHER FLAG FOR HER CASE WITH

CHORUS (REPEAT)

SHE KEEPS THEIR PICTURES ON THE MANTLE BY THE FLAGS IN THEIR WOOD FRAMES
FOR HER THE PRICE OF FREEDOM IS THE UNSEEN BLOODSTAINS ON

CHORUS (REPEAT)
